\section{Discussions}
\subsection{Practical application}
This study used an ultrasound device to image the sample and track shear waves, due to its high temporal resolution, availability and ease of use. However, for a clinical implementation such as brain elasticity imaging, MRI is more suited for tracking shear waves, as acoustic waves used in ultrasound imaging for shear wave tracking are attenuated by the skull. In a practical MRI implementation, no magnet would be necessary, and MRI-compatible coils should be used. As most clinical MRI scanners use 1.5 T or more magnetic fields, which is
at least ten times higher than the one used in this study, displacement amplitude could be increased by a similar factor.
Magnetic Resonance Elastography is usually employing continuous shear waves; but induction of a continuous electrical current by the coil could affect MRI measurements, so "repetitive transient" excitations, which would lead to a continuous wave, could be used.
