Use Virtual Touch quantification to measure tissue shear velocity (Vs) and elasticity (E) for

a selected region of interest. Virtual Touch quantification uses acoustic radiation force
impulse (ARFI) technology of diagnostic ultrasound to induce tissue displacement. A time-
controlled sequence of "push pulses" from the transducer induces a small displacement of
tissue. The ultrasound system measures shear wave velocity and elasticity at the region of
interest.
Provides measurement labels for sites, lesions, and liver segments, which display in the

liver assessment section of the abdomen report
