Problems solved by technology

This method has great limitations in the following cases. First, when the elastic modulus and viscosity coefficient of the normal tissue and the abnormal tissue are not equal, but the viscoelastic ratio is equal, the phase delay of the measurement is the same, which cannot Distinguish between normal tissue and abnormal tissue; secondly, when the elasticity and viscosity change respectively in the tissue variation process, and the ratio of the change is the same, the measured phase delay is the same, and the detection of the dynamic process cannot be realized
