Observational analysis reveals the challenges of reconstructing elastic moduli via OCE, highlighting the significance of phase velocity in anisotropic tissues.
Key Points
Reconstructing elastic moduli is complex due to anisotropic structures in soft tissues.
Phase velocity of Rayleigh waves is critical for accurately identifying shear moduli in NITI media.
OCE offers high spatial resolution for anterior tissues but faces challenges in quantitative modulus reconstruction.
Spatial dispersion effects must be accounted for in the analysis of wave propagation in soft media.
