The variations of mechanical properties in soft tissues are biomarkers used for clinical
diagnosis and disease monitoring. Optical coherence elastography (OCE) has been
extensively developed to investigate mechanical properties of various biological tissues.
These methods are generally based on time-domain data and measure the time-of-flight of
the localized shear wave propagations to estimate the group velocity. However, there is
considerable information that can be obtained from examining the mechanical properties …

Tissue mechanics have been widely studied for the past two decades because they are
significantly associated with disease states. The variations of mechanical properties in soft
tissues are considerable indicators used for clinical diagnosis and disease monitoring.
Optical coherence elastography (OCE) has been extensively developed to characterize the
mechanical properties of various tissues. However, these methods are generally based on
time-domain data and measure the time-offlight of the localized shear wave propagations …
