1) To understand how ARFI works and which are the physical and anatomical factors affecting the acquisition of data 2) To discuss thoroughly the current clinical applications, considering for each pathological condition and for each organ which are the problems to be solved and which information can be obtained  

A) What it is B) What influences it 1. Physical factors a. Extrinsic (degree of compression; distance between the target and the source) b. Intrinsic (wavelength of the transducer) 2. Anatomical factors a. Anisotropy b. Dimension of the ROI C) Clinical applications 1.Liver 2.Pancreas 3.Kidney 5.Miscellaneous
