Anomalous shear wave propagation reveals micro-architectural properties of underlying hard scattering structures. This is shown via simulations, phantom experiments, in-vivo liver fibrosis and breast cancer data. Thereby, unique information about the vascular architecture of tumours at the clinical imaging scale are accessible.
