    摘要: A viscoelastic property of tissue is measured in vivo. To collect more information and/or estimate viscosity, shear modulus, and/or other shear characteristics, an amplitude and phase modulated waveform is transmitted to the tissue. The displacement caused by the waveform over time includes displacements associated with response to different frequencies. By examining the displacement in the frequency domain, one or more viscoelastic properties may be calculated for different frequencies. The frequency response may indicate the health of the tissue.

    摘要: Information associated with shear calculation is also displayed in ultrasound shear wave imaging. More information than just a shear wave image is provided for diagnosis. Information about the quality or variables used to determine shear is also displayed. This additional information may assist the user in determining whether the shear information indicates tissue characteristics or unreliable shear calculation.

    摘要: Classification preprocessing is provided for medical ultrasound shear wave imaging. In response to stress, the displacement at one or more locations in a patient is measured. The displacement over time is a curve representing a shift in location. One or more characteristics of the curve, such as signal-to-noise ratio and maximum displacement, are used to classify the location. The location is classified as fluid or fluid tissue, solid tissue, or non-determinative. Subsequent shear imaging may provide shear information for locations of solid tissue and not at other locations.

    摘要: A shear wave velocity solution is provided for medical ultrasound imaging. Rather than determining shear wave information for each location based on distance from the origin of the shear wave and time to peak displacement for the location, displacement profiles resulting from different combinations of origin and detection locations are correlated. Shear information is detected using displacements from a diverse spatial combination of transmission locations and detection locations. The correlation combination is used in a same function for simultaneously solving for the delays for multiple lateral locations. Spatial diversity and layered correlation may provide for more accurate shear wave estimation.
