We observed a decrease of the shear wave amplitude when the distance between the medium and the magnet increased, with an excellent agreement between experimental and numerical results. This was expected as the magnetic field decreased with distance. Similar observations can be made when the coil is drawn further from the sample. When we moved the coil along the X direction, we observed a strong maximum between two minima separated by 75 mm, corresponding to the length between the two centers of the TMS coil, which is also in agreement with the current density profile along this direction.  \section{Discussions}  Shear waves with a displacement amplitude of 0.5 $\mu$m have been observed in the chicken breast sample. Although Muthupillai et al. indicated that displacements as small as 100 nm should be sufficient to perform elastography measurements \cite{muthupillai1995magnetic}, displacements 5 to 20 $\mu$m are commonly used in practice, both in acoustic radiation force imaging \cite{nightingale2002acoustic} and magnetic resonance elastography \cite{sinkus2005imaging}.
