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.
