Abstract

A time-shifted fractional calculus model is introduced for shear wave parameter estimation. This fractional calculus model, which is based on the Power Law Wave Equation, is evaluated with measured shear wave data acquired from ex vivo pig liver. One of the advantages of the time-shifted fractional calculus model is that the attenuation constant and the power law exponent are decoupled from the shear wave speed, which reduces the number of parameters determined by the estimation procedure from three to two. Results show that the time-shifted fractional calculus model achieves excellent agreement with measured shear wave particle velocities obtained from ex vivo pig liver.
