Three-Dimensional Multi-Frequency Shear Wave Absolute Vibro-Elastography (3D S-WAVE) with a Matrix Array Transducer: Implementation and Preliminary in vivo Study of the Liver

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is commonly regarded as the imaging-based gold-standard for liver fibrosis staging, comparable to biopsy. While ultrasound-based elastography methods for liver fibrosis staging have been developed, they are confined to a 1D or a 2D region of interest and to a limited depth. 3D Shear Wave Absolute Vibr...More
