Using body noise to improve cancer detection

(Acoustical Society of America) In passive elastography, the elasticity of tissue is measured using the body's own propagation of shear waves, which enables more effective imaging deeper inside the body in an even more noninvasive way than traditional elastography and may be used for cancer detection. Stefan Catheline, researcher at the University at Lyon will discuss this and other elastography advances during Acoustics '17 Boston.
