Computational Modeling of an Elastography Technique Based on Measurements of the Multilayer Wave Propagation Shear Velocity: Preliminary Results

Ultrasound elastography is a rather recent diagnostic method that is aimed for evaluating the stiffness of the tissues of the human body. Its usefulness is based on the fact that tissues having some pathologies are generally more rigid than the surrounding healthy tissues. Shear wave elastography is a technique based on measuring the speed of propagation of these shear waves through biological tis...
