Abstract
In this paper we present a preliminary comparative study of two types of ultrasound elastography techniques – Strain Elastography and Shear Wave Elastography. The latter is a novel method which create a quantitative 2D map of the tissue stiffness. The map is presented in absolute units (kPa). We proposed the layer-build tissue-mimicking phantom to ensure repeatability of tests for both devices. The obtained results confirms advantages of ShearWave Elastography over Strain Elastography.
