Development of ultrasonic viscoelasticity detection system by shear wave dispersion ultrasound vibration

目的为实现离体组织黏弹性检测,建立一套超声黏弹性检测系统。方法该系统基于剪切波频散超声振动方法,利用超声辐射力激励组织产生谐波运动,然后检测振动产生的剪切波传播特性,从而估算组织的黏弹性值。采用该系统进行标准仿体实验和大鼠肝脏实验,并完成对系统的初步评估。结果标准仿体的检测结果与仿体标定的弹性系数值接近,大鼠肝脏的黏性系数和弹性系数值分别为(1.12±0.41)Pa·s、(0.81±0.40)kPa。结论通过标准仿体实验和大鼠肝脏的实验,证明采用该系统进行离体动物实验的可行性,为实现人体肝纤维化检测作初步探索。

Objective To establish an ultrasonic viscoelastic detection system to measure the viscoelasticity of in vitro tissues. Methods Based on the method of shear wave dispersion ultrasound vibration （SDUV）, this system applied acoustic radiation force to excite harmonic vibration in soft tissues. The propagation of shear waves induced by the vibration was detected and the tissue viscoelasticity properties were calculated. The standard phantom and rat liver experiment were conducted using this system, and preliminary assessment of the system was completed. Results The measured result of standard phantom was close to the calibration value. The viscous and elastic coefficient of rat liver were （1.12±0.41） Pa？s and （0.81±0.40） kPa, respectively. Conclusions The results about the standard phantom and rat liver experiment approved feasibility of the system for viscoelasticity measurement on in vitro animal experiment, which is a preliminary exploration for the realization of liver fibrosis detection of human body.
