Abdominal Shear Wave Elastography

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare two different transducers for application of shear wave elastography in the liver and kidney to understand which transducer generates the data with the highest signal-to-noise ratio as a function of acquisition depth. We will compare linear versus harmonic imaging for shear wave detection as a function of acquisition depth.
