Abstract
An ultrasound system includes transmit circuitry configured to produce a push pulse electrical excitation signal and a transducer array configured to receive the push pulse electrical excitation signal and transmit a push pulse that produces acoustic and shear wave propagation in tissue of interest, where the push pulse is based on a pre-determined set of parameters stored in computer readable medium. A computer-implemented method includes producing a push pulse electrical excitation signal and includes transmitting, based on the push pulse electrical excitation signal, a push pulse that produces acoustic and shear wave propagation in tissue of interest. A computer readable medium is encoded with computer executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method. In one instance, the push pulse promotes shedding of lining cells of the tissue of interest in connection with a biopsy of shed cells for the tissue of interest.
