Methods and Systems for Determining Mechanical Properties of a Tissue |
| 摘要 |
Systems and methods for determining mechanical properties of a biological tissue in a subject are provided. A low coherence optical interferometer detects waves generated from a surface of a tissue in a subject. The waves are generated from elastographic deformation of the tissue induced by an impulse stimulation. Phase velocities can then be determined from the waves, and elastographic properties from the phase velocities, including an elasticity value for a portion of the surface of the tissue. |

1. A method for determining elasticity of a tissue in a subject comprising:
detecting with a low coherence optical interferometer at least one wave generated from a surface of a tissue in a subject, wherein the at least one wave is generated from elastographic deformation of the tissue induced by an impulse stimulation; determining phase velocities from the at least one wave; and determining elastographic properties, including determining an elasticity for a portion of the surface of the tissue, from the phase velocities. |
