Abstract
System and method configured to characterize viscoelasticity of a target medium by directly determining phase difference between real and imaginary parts of the complex shear modulus of the tissue (determined as a result of applying a compression force to the tissue), without any fitting of data and independent from distribution of strain in the tissue caused by the application of compression force.
