Abstract
Properties of soft biological tissues are increasingly used in medical diagnosis to detect various abnormalities, for example, in liver
fibrosis or breast tumors. It is well known that mechanical stiffness of human organs can be obtained from organ responses to
shear stress waves through Magnetic Resonance Elastography. The Local Interaction Simulation Approach is proposed for effective
modelling of shear wave propagation in soft tissues. The results are validated using experimental data from Magnetic Resonance
Elastography. These results show the potential of the method for shear wave propagation modelling in soft tissues. The major
advantage of the proposed approach is a significant reduction of computational effort.
