Shear-wave elastography (SWE) enables the noninvasive and quantitative evaluation of the mechanical properties of human soft tissue. Generally, shear-wave velocity (CS) can be estimated using the time-of-flight (TOF) method. Young s modulus is then calculated directly from the estimated CS. However,...
