Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and/or apparatuses involving modifying flow and/or concentration of an agent being injected for characterizing a vascular system. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a liquid including an agent is injected into a vascular system, by dynamically modulating a flow rate of the agent being injected over a range of flow rates. The vascular system is characterized based on a response of the vascular system to the dynamic modulation. In some implementations, such an approach involves using an injector that operates to separately control the rate at which an agent and other liquid such as saline are injected. These approaches can be implemented with modulation schemes using one or more of a variety of functions.

Abstract: A method of performing shear wave elastography in tissue includes transmitting successively a series of ultrasound push pulses in the tissue in a region of interest (ROI) using a single array transducer. The acoustic intensities of the push pulses are sinusoidally modulated with a modulation frequency, Each push pulse generates an acoustic radiation force that pushes the tissue and creates an individual shear wave propagating through the tissue. The amplitudes of the shear waves, and therefore, the displacements produced by the push pulses, are positively proportionally to the intensities of the push pulses. The successively created individual shear waves with different amplitudes sum together to form a continuous, harmonic summed shear wave with a single frequency the same as the modulation frequency of the push pulses.
