In the mid-1990s a method named Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging (SWEI) for mapping tissue elasticity has been proposed. The method is based on the use of acoustic radiation force of focused ultrasound to create shear waves in soft tissue. By measuring shear wave propagation parameters using ultrasound or MRI the tissue elasticity map can be created.
