Supersonic shear wave imaging to assess arterial anisotropy: ex-vivo testing of the horse aorta Ghent University
Supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) has recently emerged as a reliable technique for soft tissue characterization in bulk tissues (e. g. in the context of breast and liver cancer diagnostics). Another promising application of SSI is arterial stiffness assessment, though challenged by complex shear wave (SW) propagation phenomena in this thin-walled setting such as guided waves, dispersion, reflection and refraction on the arterial walls. ...
