Aberration in complex media: The case of shear wave elastography

Shear wave elastography depends on the type of medical imaging used to track shear waves in soft biological tissues. This aberration correction study in elastography will nevertheless not cover the study of ultrasound, MRI, or optical imaging. It will rather investigate the impact of complexity medium on the shear wave propagation. Starting on the aberration correction techniques developed for ultrasound imaging, it will be shown how shear wave imaging, thanks to the local nature of its measurement, avoids the main pitfalls encountered by ultrasound. The singularity of various causes of aberration in elastography will then be presented.
