Claim 0:
1. A method for detecting an elasticity with a shear wave, comprising:
transmitting ultrasound waves to a region of interest through transducers in an ultrasound probe that are configured to transmit ultrasound waves, wherein the ultrasound waves focus on at least two focus points in an acoustic field and drive a tissue so as to form a shear wave zone with shear wave sources corresponding to the at least two focus points that propagates in a direction perpendicular to a transmission direction of the ultrasound waves, and wherein the at least two focus points are disposed sequentially in the transmission direction of the ultrasound waves;
continuously transmitting detection ultrasound waves for a predetermined duration to a propagation path of the shear wave zone through transducers configured to transmit detection ultrasound waves, and receiving echo signals of the detection ultrasound waves; and
calculating elastic characteristics based on the echo signals.
