Abstract
There is a need for methods to assess muscle elasticity considering tissue inhomogeneity and heterogeneity. This study investigated shear wave morphology in muscle tissue during continuous shear wave elastography. Shear wave velocity, direction, and attenuation were measured in beef, pork, and chicken. Even when velocities were similar, attenuation and direction differed with fat and fibrotic content. These results support the feasibility of using this technique to assess muscle elasticity considering tissue inhomogeneity and heterogeneity.
