Abstract
A reverberant shear wave field in an object such as a patient's body or organ causes deformations in one or more selected directions measured with an imaging modality such as ultrasound or MR equipment or other imaging equipment, to estimate displacements in one or more selected directions over time increments and then viscoelastic properties such as stiffness or other parameters of the ROI.
