    Abstract: In shear wave imaging with an ultrasound scanner, multiple frames of shear wave data representing the same region of interest are acquired in response to a respective multiple ARFI transmissions. Instead of a fixed or same combination of focal locations for the ARFI transmissions, the focal locations of the ARFI transmissions are varied (e.g., randomly selected) between different frames of shear wave information. By combining the frames, a shear wave image may be generated with less missing data and/or shadowing effects.

    Abstract: Asymmetry is provided for the pushing pulse in acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging. MI is based on the negative pressure. By increasing the positive pressure more than the negative pressure, the magnitude of displacement may be increased without exceeding the MI limit. Similarly, negative voltages depole while positive do not, so using an ARFI or pushing pulse with asymmetric positive-to-negative peak pressures or voltages allows for generation of greater magnitude of displacement without harm to the transducer.
