Hello,
First of all, thank you very much for developing this promising toolbox.
I'm completely new to this toolbox and currently investigating whether it serves my purpose to simulate a shear wave according to my needs. This is what I would like to achieve:
I would like to simulate a shear wave coming from an explosive source (i.e. a focused ultrasound beam of compressional waves). I would need a phantom (i.e. some scatterers) which would have a different stiffness than the surrounding isotropic medium. The goal is to reconstruct the tissue stiffness by measuring the displacements of my simulation. Thus, the shear wave would have to have a different speed in different tissues.
//edit: To clarify, I have to add that I want the phantom to move according to the force coming from the shear wave.
Is it possible to simulate this using k-Wave? If yes, how would I do that? Any hints or pointers are highly appreciated. Thank you very much.
