Recently in vivo experiments using Multifrequency MRE (MMRE) have shown that the exponent of the power law derived from MMRE data fitting with a power law could be more sensitive to specific pathologies such as fibrosis, steatosis or even inflammation. However these works lack fundamental understanding of the relation existing between the tissue microstructure with its macroscopic nature. In this study we develop a full theoretical model of shear wave propagation at the microscopic scale in phantoms containing wave obstacles and demonstrate that shear waves are able to reveal at the macroscopic scale the hidden micro-architectural properties of the material.
