A high-intensity focused ultrasound system was used to
cause a highly localized, broad-band mechanical
excitation within a tissue mimicking phantom. We
describe a frequency domain approach to resolve the
resulting tissue displacement at various frequencies. A
rheological model (Zener) fit the experimentally
determined shear wave velocity dispersion well in the
frequency range of 90-200 Hz.
