Contactless Remote Induction of Shear Waves in Soft Tissues Using a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Device
This study presents the first observation of shear wave induced remotely
within soft tissues. It was performed through the combination of a transcranial
magnetic stimulation device and a permanent magnet. A physical model based on
Maxwell and Navier equations was developed. Experiments were performed on a
cryogel phantom and a chicken breast sample. Using an ultrafast ultrasound
scanner, shear waves of respective amplitude of 5 and 0.5 micrometers were
observed. Experimental and numerical results were in good agreement. This study
constitutes the framework of an alternative shear wave elastography method
