We propose a beamforming scheme for ultrasound imaging leading to the generation of two
sets of images, one with oscillations only in the axial direction and one with oscillations only …

This paper investigates a new approach devoted to displacement vector estimation in
ultrasound imaging. The main idea is to adapt the image formation to a given displacement …

In the current practice of ultrasound elastography, only the axial component of the
displacement vector is estimated and used to produce strain images. A method was recently …

In current practice, only one out of three components of the tissue displacement vector and
one of nine components of the strain tensor are accurately estimated and imaged in …

Many ultrasound elastograms are reconstructed from pre-and post-compression
radiofrequency (RF) signals after beamforming using a single or a few focusing depths. This …

Ultrasound strain imaging is used to measure local tissue deformations. Usually, only strains
along the ultrasound beam are estimated, because those estimates are most precise, due to …

Tissue deformation in ultrasound imaging poses a challenge to the development of many
image registration techniques, including multimodal image fusion, multi-angle compound …

Transverse oscillation techniques have shown their high potential for accurate and robust
vector motion estimation for both flow and tissue. Unfortunately to form such images, it is …

This paper proposes a method of 2-D translations estimation using an a priori signal model.
Two analytical signals defined with multidimensional Hilbert transform are considered and …

Ultrasound elastography has become a wellknown optional imaging method for the
diagnosis of tissue abnormalities in various body parts. It images the elasticity of compliant …
