Using the analysis of group velocity for a screening application and then higher order
analysis based on the elastic and viscious components of the shear modulus may allow
discrimination between extent of tumor invasion through the esophageal wall if appropriately
correlated with pathological findings.

Use of ultrasound-based vibrometry in this setting would allow for a relatively simple study
and translation of clinical practice, as the same devices are already used in this setting,
and operators have familiarity with the equipment. Incorporating another additional method to
generate contrast for determining malignant tissue from normal based on biomechanical
properties with the same probe would have benefit as an additional diagnostic modality.
