Shear wave propagation speed determination method and device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11832992B2) discloses a method and apparatus for determining the propagation speed of a shear wave in a tissue region of interest. The method involves acquiring motion data from preset positions in the tissue region while the shear wave propagates, determining a value characterizing the regularity of the propagation waveform, and calculating the propagation speed at each position based on specific conditions being met. If the conditions are not met, an excitation parameter is adjusted to generate the shear wave until the conditions are satisfied. Additionally, the patent describes determining a target pulse-emitting region based on the state of the tissue and evaluating the elasticity of the tissue region based on the reliability of the propagation speed at specific positions within a measurement tissue region.
Furthermore, the apparatus outlined in the patent includes acquiring units, determining units, and exciting units to facilitate the process of determining the shear wave's propagation speed. It also incorporates modules for detecting the state of tissue in a pulse-emitting region, acquiring ultrasonic images, and evaluating the elasticity of the tissue region. The apparatus aims to provide a comprehensive system for accurately measuring the propagation speed of shear waves in tissues, enabling the evaluation of tissue elasticity with precision. By combining various units and modules, the apparatus offers a systematic approach to assess tissue properties and display the results effectively for further analysis and diagnosis. This patent showcases advancements in medical technology for non-invasive evaluation of tissue characteristics, potentially enhancing diagnostic capabilities in healthcare settings.
