Elastic wave imaging optical coherence elastography (EWI-OCE) is an emerging technique that can quantify local
biomechanical properties of tissues. However, long acquisition times make this technique unfeasible for clinical use.
Here, we demonstrate a noncontact single shot line-field OCE technique using a line-field interferometer and an air-pulse
delivery system. The spatial-temporal elastic wave propagation profile was acquired in a single shot and used
to quantify the elastic wave group velocity in tissue. Results on tissue-mimicking phantoms and chicken breast
muscle agreed well with mechanical compression testing, demonstrating that the presented method can effectively
reduce the OCE acquisition time to a few milliseconds in biological application.
