MethodWhen a single acoustic radiation force is applied to biological tissues, strain (deformation) is not generated effectively, because one acoustic radiation force generates not only strain but also a change in the position of the tissue that has zero spatial gradient in displacement (no strain). In this study, for effective generation of strain in an object, two acoustic radiation forces, which were induced by two continuous ultrasound beams at frequencies of f 0 and (f 0+ Δf), were synchronously applied to two different positions in the object from two different directions, as shown in Fig. 1 [7]. The region pinched by two acoustic radiation forces oscillating at a frequency of Δf was therefore compressed along the horizontal axis. In the case of biological tissues, such as muscle and tendons, vertical expansion occurred due to their incompressibility.
