Shear wave velocity (SWV) measurements are accurate with linear probes for shallow targets. Deeper targets (40mm+) require convex probes for reliable results, depending on probe and distance settings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Ultrasound elastography
  • Biophysical measurement

Background:

  • Shear wave velocity (SWV) is a key parameter in ultrasound elastography for assessing tissue stiffness.
  • Understanding factors influencing SWV measurements is crucial for accurate clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate how probe type and distance to the region of interest (ROI) affect SWV measurements.
  • To determine the optimal probe selection based on target depth and stiffness.

Main Methods:

  • SWV measurements were performed on phantoms with varying stiffness (8-80 kPa) using virtual touch tissue quantification.
  • The impact of probe-to-ROI distance (5-80 mm) was assessed using both linear and convex probes.

Main Results:

  • A strong linear correlation between Young's modulus and SWV was observed for the linear probe (r²=0.99).
  • The convex probe showed high correlation for stiffnesses between 8-40 kPa (r²=0.98).
  • Linear probe measurements were minimally affected by distance, while convex probe measurements showed distance dependency.

Conclusions:

  • Probe selection significantly impacts SWV measurement accuracy.
  • Linear probes are suitable for most depths, except their deepest range.
  • Convex probes are recommended for measurements at 40 mm or greater depth.
