Ultrasound Shear Wave Simulation of Breast Tumor Using Nonlinear Tissue Elasticity
Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) can assess the elasticity of tissues, but the shear modulus estimated in SWEI is often less sensitive to a subtle change of the stiffness that produces only small mechanical contrast to the background tissues. Because most soft tissues exhibit mechanical nonlinea...
