We have been using a transverse driver, which generates shear waves at the object surface. One of the problems is that shear waves rapidly attenuate at the surface of tissue and do not propagate into the body. In this study, we compared the shear waves generated by transverse and longitudinal drivers. The longitudinal driver was found to induce shear waves deep inside a porcine liver phantom. These results suggest that the longitudinal driver will allow measurement of the shear modulus deep inside the body., 29th Annual international conference of the IEEE engineering in medicine and biology society}, title = {Magnetic Resonance Elastography to Observe Deep Areas: Comparison of External Vibration Systems}, year = {2007} }
