| Abstract | Recent studies have shown stiffness is an relevant tissue property to monitor during High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatments. Tissue stiffness is temperature-dependant but also a major indicator of thermal necrosis. Shear Wave Imaging can be used to map stiffness changes in 2D, but current inverse problem limits the spatial resolution and contrast of elasticity maps. The aim of this study is to revisit the migration theory used in geophysics for elasticity imaging [1]. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of a new inverse problem of elastodynamics based on the experimental application of Reverse Time Migration (RTM) technique for the monitoring of elasticity changes. First, simulations have been performed using a 3D finite differences Virieux scheme of the viscoelastic wave equation (ACEL). The propagation of elastic plane waves is investigated first in a reference homogeneous non-viscous medium and secondly when adding a gaussian inclusion (3% to 60% shear wave speed contrast). Here, the Tarantola's adjoint method [2][1] consists in time-reversing the difference of the two successively generated shear waves (before and after heating) in the medium. The inversion is done by time-correlating the forward and the ad joint solution. Second, experiments were performed using a tungsten wire (125 µm diameter) as a heating source in gelatin phantoms to decrease the local stiffness. The Supersonic Shear Imaging (SSI) technique gives access experimentally to the movie of 2D propagation of the wave before and while heating. Each wave was created by 3 pushing beams of 100µs and their propagation was acquired at 10kHz using a commercial ultrasound scanner (Aixplorer, Supersonic Imagine) and a 8MHz probe. Acquisitions were performed every 40s during 20min of heating and data were processed offline. RTM was able to achieve inversion of shear wave propagation. We show that it can solve this optimization problem with a single-iteration in homogeneous media. This new method is more accurate than the time-of-flight (TOF) inversion algorithm. Spatial resolution is improved (factor 2). Simulations and experimental results show a very good recovery of the inclusion elasticity for different size and amplitude. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
