  • System and method for non-invasively measuring tissue viscoelasticity using surface waves
    Patent number: 9044192
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing tissue health based on the viscoelastic properties of the tissue. Surface waves are induced in the tissue and their propagation characteristics are then measured. The tissue viscoelastic properties are then determined from the surface wave measurements using a surface model.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 3, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 2, 2015
    Assignee: MAYO FOUNDATION FOR MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH
