Abstract

The present disclosure includes ultrasound systems and methods for smart shear wave elastography in anisotropic tissue. An example method may include identifying muscle fiber structures from a 3D ultrasound image dataset. The method may include providing a representation of at least one identified muscle fiber structure relative to a surface of a transducer. The method may include selecting at least one of the identified muscle fiber structures. The method may include determining a target measurement plane based on an orientation of the selected muscle fiber structure. The method may also include transmitting ultrasound pulses in accordance with a sequence configured to perform shear wave imaging in the target measurement plane.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to ultrasound systems and methods for imaging anisotropic tissue using shear wave elastography by identifying fiber orientation in the anisotropic tissue and adjusting the shear wave elastography based on the identified fiber orientation. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound imaging systems, such as cart-based ultrasound imaging systems, typically include a user interface that operates in conjunction with a probe and a display to acquire and display images from a subject, such as a patient. The ultrasound imaging system may use shear wave elastography to determine mechanical properties of tissue. Shear wave elastography can be used for screening and diagnostic purposes, such as to identify areas of abnormal stiffness in tissue, which may indicate the presence of, for example, a tumor. Shear wave elastography measurements may involve generating shear waves in tissue and using ultrasound pulses generated by a transduce...
