In
a the context of shear wave elastography, the thermoelastic regime is a priori preferred
to over the ablative regime,
as because it is less destructive.
If Muthupillai et al. Even if first shear wave elastography experiments assumed that a displacement of a few
hundreds of hundred nanometers
should would be sufficient
to perform shear wave elastography \cite{7569924}, displacements of the order of
the micrometer a few micrometers are usually required in
practice for ultrasound or magnetic resonance elastography \cite{Nightingale_2001},
\cite{Manduca_2001}: \cite{Manduca_2001}. Interestingly, this is higher than the displacement
we observed at 10 mJ (thermoelastic
regime) and about regime), but long the same order of magnitude
of the displacement observed at 200 mJ (ablative regime). The minimum energy (10 mJ) of the laser beam used in our experiments is incidentally 2.5 times above the maximum
exposure permissible
exposure for skin given by the Z136.1-2007 standard of the American National Standard Institute \cite{ANSIZ1361}. In
a practical
application in applications to the human body, different strategies could be adopted to comply to ANSI
standard: observe standard:, including observation of the medium with
a high resolution imaging
technique, technique that is able to track displacements of a few nanometers,
like such as high frequency (100 MHz) ultrasound
imaging, imaging or optical coherence tomography
\cite{Li_2011}; one can also emit \cite{Li_2011}. Alternatively, the laser beam
on can be emitted onto a protective absorbing layer,
for example such as a black sheet
sticked to covering the
patient organ patient's organs \cite{Li_2014}.
In conclusion, we have presented experimental observations
in soft medium of elastic shear waves generated by a laser
beam. beam in a soft medium. The involved
phenomenons phenomena were
investigated investigated, and
we distinguished revealed the existence of thermoelastic and ablative regimes.
Theoretical Furthermore, theoretical displacements were in good agreement
to with experimental measurements.
Numerical Lastly, numerical studies showed
comparable displacement propagation patterns
as experimental ones. that were comparable to those generated experimentally.
