Abstract
The present disclosure includes ultrasound systems and methods for smart shear wave elastography in anisotropic tissue. An example method may include identifying muscle fiber structures from a 3D ultrasound image dataset. The method may include providing a representation of at least one identified muscle fiber structure relative to a surface of a transducer. The method may include selecting at least one of the identified muscle fiber structures. The method may include determining a target measurement plane based on an orientation of the selected muscle fiber structure. The method may also include transmitting ultrasound pulses in accordance with a sequence configured to perform shear wave imaging in the target measurement plane.
