Abstract
Method and system for non-invasive determination of a pressure characteristic associated with carpal tunnel (CT) region of a subject. Speed of a shear wave induced in the tissue of the subject and propagating through the CT region is measured at least once. The pressure characteristic is substantially proportional to determined speed.
