Abstract
A system for boundary identification includes a memory () to store shear wave displacements through a medium as a displacement field including a spatial component and a temporal component. A directional filter () filters the displacement field to provide a directional displacement field. A signal processing device () is coupled to the memory to execute a boundary estimator () to estimate a tissue boundary in a displayed image based upon a history of the directional displacement field accumulated over time.
