Abstract
A medical apparatus () determines the concentration distribution of sonically dispersive elements () within a subject (), wherein the medical apparatus comprises: a memory () for storing machine executable instructions () and a processor () for executing the machine executable instructions. Execution of the instructions cause the processor to: receive () shear wave data () descriptive of the propagation of shear waves () within the subject for at least two frequencies; determine () a mechanical property () of the subject using the shear wave data at each of the at least two frequencies; determine () a power law relationship () between the at least two frequencies and the mechanical property; and determine () the concentration distribution of the sonically dispersive elements within the subject using the power law relationship and calibration data ().
