Abstract:
In recent years, the development of matrix and row-column arrays (RCA) along with ultrafast ultrasound imaging has allowed the translation of 2D into 3D imaging applications. In previous work [Bernal et al. 2021 IUS] we implemented a passive elastography approach based on noise correlation of a complex elastic wave field to conduct 3D shear elasticity imaging using a RCA in a bilayer phantom. In this work, we further demonstrate the use of this approach for in-vivo applications and to identify soft and hard inclusions
