| Abstract | The displacements involved in Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) are small, with associated high echo correlation. Quantitative SWE techniques estimate the velocity of shear waves by tracking tissue motion at one or more locations with ultrasound beams of width comparable to the dimensions of the shear wave. These shear wave arrival time estimates are known to be noisy even at high echo SNR. We hypothesize that the observed arrival time variations are largely due to the underlying speckle pattern, and call the effect speckle bias. Field II was used to simulate imaging of both diffuse and point targets subject to shear wave motion. A 5.3 MHz linear array with transmit apertures of f/2-8 and receive apertures of f/2-4 was modeled, with a range of shear wave amplitudes (5-20μm) and profiles simulated. The local speckle pattern was determined through swept-receive-aperture imaging of the transmit beam. Arrival time bias found to be strongly (r=0.7) correlated with the location of the lateral peak of the swept-receive speckle pattern. The results suggest that high RF echo correlation does not equate to an accurate shear wave arrival time estimate, and that RF echo correlation is weakly related to arrival time accuracy. The variation in shear wave arrival time bias at a given location over the range of shear wave amplitudes considered is an order of magnitude smaller than the variation with different speckle realizations obtained along a given tracking vector. |

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.
