Figure 2 Amplitude of the strains induced in the liver of a mouse with systemic amyloidosis (stage 1), as a function of depth and time. The shear wave velocity (VS) is the slope of the wave pattern. The steeper the slope, the higher the velocity of the shear wave and the higher the Young’s modulus (here E = 79.3 kPa).
