A shear wave elasticity measurement method and a shear wave elasticity imaging system are disclosed. For each pair of corresponding shear waves, an echo signal within a continuous period of time can be obtained only at a third position, so that an elasticity parameter corresponding to the target area can be obtained according to the echo signal within the continuous period of time. Not only the position required for obtaining an echo signal is few, but also the total data volume required for obtaining the echo signal is few. The calculation method is also easy, which significantly reduces the system performance requirement.
