Abstract
An imaging method using shear waves for observing a viscoelastic medium, comprising:
- several successive excitation steps j during which elastic shear waves are generated respectively at different excitation loci (Lj) in the viscoelastic medium by an imaging device, the different excitation loci being separated from one another by a maximum distance Dm,an imaging step corresponding to each excitation step j, in which a set j of successive raw images Imj(tk) of the viscoelastic medium at times tk are determined during propagation of the shear wave, the raw images having a resolution R which is larger than the maximum distance Dm,an averaging step in which raw images Imj(tk) corresponding to the same relative time tk are averaged to determine an average image Im′(tk).
