Crawling Wave Sonoelastography

Used mechanical vibration sources to generate a slow "crawling" wave pattern through tissue samples. The response of the material was monitored using Doppler ultrasound. The behavior of the wave through the material corresponds to the tissue's stiffness. This was used to diagnose steatosis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease.
