Abstract: A method for mapping shear wave velocity in biological tissues includes using an ultrasound transducer to generate mechanical excitations at a plurality of locations in a region of interest. An MRI system is used to capture a phase image of each mechanical excitation, wherein motion encoding gradients (MEGs) of the MRI system encode a propagating shear wavefront caused by the mechanical excitation. A plurality of shear wave velocity maps is generated based on the phase images, wherein each shear wave velocity map depicts velocity between adjacent propagating shear wavefronts. The shear wave speed values are combined to generate a composite shear wave velocity map of the region of interest.

Abstract: The AUTOMATED EVENT ATTENDEE DATA COLLECTION AND DOCUMENT GENERATION APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“GST”) transform pre-event guest data aggregation inputs using GST components into customized pre-event documents. In some implementations, the disclosure provides a processor-implemented method of aggregating visual and textual guest data from social media servers and combining the aggregated responses with attendee supplemental responses and template document definitions to produce pre-event document output.
