Crawling waves, which are interfering shear wave patterns, can be generated in liver tissue
over a range of frequencies. Some important biomechanical properties of the liver can be …

The determination of shear wave speed is an important subject in the field of elastography,
since elevated shear wave speeds can be directly linked to increased stiffness of tissues …

Elastography is a modality that estimates tissue stiffness and, thus, provides useful
information for clinical diagnosis. Attention has focused on the measurement of shear wave …

The most troublesome of ultrasonic B-mode imaging is the difficulty of accurately diagnosing
cancers, benign tumors, and cysts because they appear similar to each other in B-mode …

The field of imaging the elastic properties of tissue has grown to an impressive variety of
techniques and applications, some of which are currently in clinical trials. This review …

This paper introduces methods to generate crawling wave interference patterns from the
displacement fields generated from radiation force pushes on a GE Logiq 9 scanner. The …

We describe a surface-based approach to the generation of shear wave interference
patterns, called crawling waves (CrW), within a medium and derive local estimates of …

An ultrasound system (GE Logiq 9) was modified to produce a synthetic crawling wave using
shear wave displacements generated by the radiation force of focused beams formed at the …

Crawling Wave Sonoelastography (CWS) is an elastography ultrasound-based imaging
approach that provides tissue stiffness information through the calculation of Shear Wave …

Crawling waves are generated by an interference of two oscillating waves traveling in
opposite directions, with a progressive movement resulting from a frequency difference or a …
