Intervention: Ultrasound- Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging Quantification
Description: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. (Mountain View, CA) has implemented Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging Quantification (VTIQ) technology on a commercially available general purpose US imaging system (trade name: Acuson S2000 or S3000). This system has received clearance under Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) number K072786 (S3000) and K130881 (VTIQ). The technology uses a set of tailored US pulses (Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse, ARFI) to induce shear waves in breast tissue due to tissue displacement. A set of standard B-mode pulses detect the perpendicular shear waves. The displacement signals can be processed using algorithms on a Virtual Touch IQ-equipped system in order to calculate the shear wave velocity.
