However, there is no mechanism to use time varying medium properties (i.e., to update the position of the scatterers during a simulation in response to the shear wave). There are lots of examples included in the toolbox to help you get started.</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/2-d-shear-wave-simulation#post-5316 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:28:25 +0000 Palimm 5316@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>First of all, thank you very much for developing this promising toolbox. </p> <p>I'm completely new to this toolbox and currently investigating whether it serves my purpose to simulate a shear wave according to my needs. This is what I would like to achieve:</p> <p>I would like to simulate a shear wave coming from an explosive source (i.e. a focused ultrasound beam of compressional waves). I would need a phantom (i.e. some scatterers) which would have a different stiffness than the surrounding isotropic medium. The goal is to reconstruct the tissue stiffness by measuring the displacements of my simulation. Thus, the shear wave would have to have a different speed in different tissues.</p> <p>//edit: To clarify, I have to add that I want the phantom to move according to the force coming from the shear wave.</p> <p>Is it possible to simulate this using k-Wave? If yes, how would I do that? Any hints or pointers are highly appreciated. Thank you very much. </p>
