Abstract

This study proposes a novel estimation method for vibration-based shear wave elastography measurement of human skeletal muscle and evaluates its reproducibility and reliability. Measurements in phantom gels (konjac and agar) and skeletal muscle showed good intra-day, day-to-day, and inter-operator reliabilities, suggesting this method is a useful tool for evaluating muscle stiffness.
