Shear wave elasticity measurement method and imaging system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998392B2) discloses a shear wave elasticity measurement method and system for assessing tissue elasticity. The method involves generating shear waves at different positions on the boundary of a target area, transmitting ultrasound waves to detect these waves, and calculating an elasticity parameter based on the time difference and distance between the positions. The system includes a probe, transmitting controller, receiving controller, and image processor to facilitate the generation of shear waves, detection of echoes, and calculation of elasticity parameters. Additionally, the system can generate ultrasound images of the target area and display both the images and elasticity parameters for analysis.
The patent claims describe a method and system that offer a non-invasive and efficient way to measure tissue elasticity using shear waves. By generating multiple shear waves at different positions and analyzing the time it takes for these waves to propagate, the elasticity parameter of the target area can be accurately calculated. The system's ability to generate ultrasound images of the target area provides additional visual information for a comprehensive assessment. Overall, this innovation in shear wave elasticity measurement can have significant implications in various medical fields, including diagnostics, monitoring treatment responses, and assessing tissue health non-invasively. The technology described in the patent opens up new possibilities for precise and reliable tissue elasticity measurements, enhancing the capabilities of medical professionals in evaluating and managing various health conditions.
