  • Publication number: 20250180521
    Abstract: A method for enhancing shear wave imaging based on an acoustic vortex includes the following steps. An ultrasonic beam in an acoustic vortex waveform is transmitted to a target tissue through an ultrasonic transducer. An original wave source generated by the ultrasonic beam is sensed through the target tissue. The original wave source forms a shear wave source in a unit periodicity. The at least one shear wave source responds to generate a constructive interference shear wave source. A shear wave is generated through the constructive interference shear wave source. Tissue characteristic information is obtained based on the shear wave imaging. An image of a displacement generated by the shear wave is drawn through the tissue characteristic information.
