Transient elastography is a medical characterization technology that estimates the stiffness of biological soft tissues. By imaging the transient propagation of shear wave in tissues, one can deduce the shear modulus µ. In the last decade, this technique has been used successfully to study various pathologies, particularly fibrosis and cancers. However, numerous factors such as wave reflection, boundary conditions and pre-stress disturb elastography measurements, and the quality of the mechanical characterization of the tissue can be altered. Moreover, the tissues exhibit more complex mechanical properties, including viscosity, nonlinearity and anisotropy, the characterization of which can improve the diagnostic value of elastography.
