  abstract = {Important tissue parameters such as elasticity can be deduced from
	the study of the propagation of low frequency shear waves. A new
	method for measuring the shear velocity in soft tissues is presented
	in this paper. Unlike conventional transient elastography, in which
	the ultrasonic transducer and the low frequency vibrator are two
	separated parts, the new method relies on a probe that associates
	the vibrator and the transducer, which is built on the axis of the
	vibrator. This setup is easy to use. The low frequency shear wave
	is driven by the transducer itself that acts as a piston while it
	is used in pulse echo mode to acquire ultrasonic lines. The results
	obtained with the new method are in good agreement with those obtained
	with the conventional one.},
