Demonstrates improved accuracy in shear wave elasticity imaging, suggesting better diagnostic results.
Shear wave elasticity imaging is a key technique for noninvasive tissue stiffness assessment, widely used in diagnosing conditions such as liver fibrosis. However, the complex in vivo environment often distorts acoustic and shear wave behavior, leading to inaccurate and high-variance results. Here, I will present an approach that combines flexible acoustic beams with improved shear wave control to overcome these limitations. Unlike conventional focused beams, which typically offer a small field of view (FOV), the proposed method enables accurate performance with a tunable FOV by precisely controlling wave profiles. This allows for customizable axial pressure distributions and optimized shear wave wavefronts tailored to various imaging scenarios. Theoretical analysis and initial experimental results will be discussed.
