SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHEAR WAVE GENERATION WITH STEERED ULTRASOUND PUSH BEAMS |
| 摘要 |
A system and method for performing a steered push beam (SPB) technique to create multiple foci generated by the interference of different ultrasound push beams to create shear waves and, based thereon, generate a report indicating mechanical properties about an object. |

1. An ultrasound system for measuring material properties of an object comprising:
an ultrasound transducer that includes a plurality of transducer elements; a processor configured to:
assign an apodization relative to the plurality of transducer elements;based on the apodization, operate the plurality of transducer elements to generate multiple ultrasound push beams to create interference in the object that creates multiple shear waves and associated multiple foci within the object;obtain shear wave elastography data from the object; andcalculate a mechanical property of the object using the obtained elastography data. |
