Patent Classification: ["600", "438000"]

Abstract:
Systems and methods for performing shear wave elastography using push and/or detection ultrasound beams that are generated by subsets of the available number of transducer elements in an ultrasound transducer. These techniques provide several advantages over currently available approaches to shear wave elastography, including the ability to use a standard, low frame rate ultrasound imaging system and the ability to measure shear wave speed throughout the entire field-of-view rather than only those regions where the push beams are not generated.

Claim (Index 10):
The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein calculating the mechanical property in step d) includes using at least one of a time-to-peak method, a cross-correlation method, a direct inversion method, and a frequency dependent analysis method.
