Comparing myocardial shear wave propagation velocity estimation methods based on tissue displacement, velocity and acceleration data KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a promising technique used to assess cardiac function through the evaluation of cardiac stiffness non-invasively. However, in the literature, SWE varies in terms of tissue motion data (displacement, velocity or acceleration); method used to characterize mechanical wave propagation (time domain [TD] vs. frequency domain [FD]); and the metric reported (wave speed [WS], shear or Young's modulus). This variety of ...
