Summary of the differences between F-CUSE/M-CUSE and SSI and ARFI shear wave imaging
Number of push beams per acquisition | Push beam distribution | Push beam order | Data acquisition | Push beam area recovered push-detect recovered from one push-detect | Number of shear waves per acquisition | Potential Frame | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
F-CUSE | Multiple | Simultaneously along lateral direction | Simultaneous | Single push-detect | Yes | Multiple | 40 Hz |
|
|||||||
M-CUSE | Multiple | Sequentially along lateral direction | Arbitrary | Single push-detect | Yes | Multiple | 40 Hz |
|
|||||||
SSI | Multiple | Sequentially along axial direction | Shallow to deep or opposite | Multiple push-detect | No | Single | < 20 Hz |
|
|||||||
ARFI shear wave imaging | Single | N/A | N/A | Multiple push-detect | No | Single | < 20 Hz |
