Shear Waves are waves that travel perpendicular to the direction of the sound beam. During an ultrasound examination, shear waves are generated and transmitted into the body using the ultrasound probe. These waves travel through the tissue and their speed of propagation is influenced by the tissue's stiffness. Softer tissues allow the shear waves to travel faster, while stiffer tissues slow them down.
By analyzing the speed of shear waves, ultrasound systems can provide quantitative measurements of tissue stiffness, known as shear wave elastography. This technique is particularly useful in assessing the stiffness of organs like the liver, breast, thyroid, and muscles.
Shear wave ultrasound elastography has various applications in clinical practice. For example, it can help identify liver fibrosis, a condition characterized by excessive scarring of the liver tissue. By measuring the liver's stiffness using shear waves, clinicians can assess the severity of fibrosis without the need for invasive procedures like liver biopsies.

(ITA) The time average intensity is the average ultrasound intensity calculated over the time between pulses. Time average intensity = Pulse average intensity x Duty factor For ultrasound systems, the instantaneous intensity is averaged over one or more scan repetition periods for a specified scan mode. •

Diagnostic Ultrasound Corporation updated its company name to Verathon Inc. at October 11, 2006.Verathon Inc. formerly 'Diagnostic Ultrasound' was founded in 1984 by Gerald McMorrow. His vision was to use emerging ultrasound technology to develop noninvasive, easy to use medical devices that would fill unmet needs in health care. In the beginning, the company was no more than one man working alone in his basement. Today, the company has 150 employees and has sold more than 100 million dollars worth of its products worldwide.
