Abstract

A sphere moving back and forth in tissue generates the kinds of complex displacement fields that are used in elastography. The analytical solution of Hans Oestreicher for this phenomenon [(1951). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 23, 704-714] gives an understanding of the transverse and longitudinal, fast and slow waves that are generated. The results suggest several ways to determine the absorption coefficients of tissues, which together with phase velocity permit the computation of both the real shear modulus and the shear viscosity as functions of frequency.
