  • NON-INVASIVE ASSESSMENT OF LIVER FAT BY CRAWLING WAVE DISPERSION WITH EMPHASIS ON ATTENUATION
    Publication number: 20140316267
    Abstract: Using a modified ultrasound device, crawling waves are applied to the liver over a range of shear wave frequencies. Dispersion measurements are obtained that reflect tissue viscosity and these correlate with the degree of steatosis. A device for the process has an actuator on either side of the ultrasound transducer to apply shear waves, which interfere to produce the crawling waves.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 15, 2012
    Publication date: October 23, 2014
    Applicant: University of Rochester
    Inventors: Christopher T. Barry, Deborah J. Rubens, Kevin J. Parker
