Abstract

Described here are systems and methods for phase velocity imaging using an imaging system, such as an ultrasound system, an optical imaging system (e.g., an optical coherence tomography system), or a magnetic resonance imaging system. In general, systems and methods for constructing phase velocity images (e.g., 2D images, 3D images) from propagating mechanical wave motion data are described. The systems and methods described in the present disclosure operate in the frequency domain and can be implemented using a single frequency or a band of selected frequencies. If there are multiple mechanical wave sources within the field-of-view, directional filtering may be performed to separate mechanical waves propagating in different directions. The reconstructions described below can be performed for each of these directionally filtered components.
