Magnetomotive Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography (MMUS-SWE): A Validation Study From Simulations to Experiments

In this study, the theoretical feasibility was verified by the finite element simulation model. Then, an experimental system was built, and the experimental feasibility of the method was demonstrated through phantom experiments, in vitro tissue experiments, and in vivo experiments. The results show that the distribution of the MNPs and the elastic information of tissues surrounding the MNPs can be detected simultaneously. This technology is expected to realize targeted elasticity measurement based on the MNPs and has potential applications for disease diagnosis.
