If ultrasound can be used to measure elasticity

AI Thread Summary
Ultrasound can be used to measure the elasticity of deformable objects under specific conditions, particularly when the sound speed is known. This speed is crucial for calculating the Young's modulus from ultrasound medical images. The accuracy of elasticity measurements depends on the frequency of the ultrasound used. Medical images generated by ultrasound can qualify for elasticity assessment if these conditions are met. Understanding these parameters is essential for effectively utilizing ultrasound in elasticity measurement.

can you simply extract the elasticity from ultrasound medical images? I don't know ultrasound very much but I just found out it can measure elasticity.

under what condition can ultrasound be used to measure elasticity of some deformable object and do ultrasound medical images qualified for those conditions?

If you know the sound speed you will "calculate" de Young module. You need the sound speed (for you frecuency) for draw a medical image.
