  "abstract": "Elasticity is a key indicator for soft tissue pathologies such as malignant tumours. I show theoretically and experimentally that leveraging the full six degree-of-freedom shear wave motion enables local elasticity for shear wave imaging with spatially diffuse fields. The experimental proof-of-concept is presented for magnetic resonance elastography of a brain phantom, but the theoretical derivation holds for various elastography imaging methods. Inspired by rotational seismology, this work introduces new acquisition and processing methods for non-invasive soft tissue characterisation using random wave-fields. A second result combining rotational elastography with seismic interferometry illustrates the method's potential to be combined with existing setups and processing techniques. Beyond its application in magnetic resonance imaging, an adaptation of rotational elastography for ultrasound imaging and optical coherence tomography could be envisaged.",
