The purpose of ultrasound elastography is to identify lesions by reconstructing the hardness
characteristics of tissue reconstructed from ultrasound data. Conventional quasi-static …

Background Model-based reconstruction algorithms have shown potentials over
conventional strain-based methods in quasi-static elastographic image by using realistic …

Background The convectional strain-based algorithm has been widely utilized in clinical
practice. It can only provide the information of relative information of tissue stiffness …

Tracking the displacement between the pre-and post-deformed radio-frequency (RF) frames
is a pivotal step of ultrasound elastography, which depicts tissue mechanical properties to …

A recent technique named Mechanically-inspired L1-norm-based Second-Order Ultrasound
eLastography (L1-MechSOUL) has provided a promising solution to the well-known issue of …

Purpose Most cancers are associated with biological and structural changes that lead to
tissue stiffening. Therefore, imaging tissue stiffness using quasi‐static ultrasound …

Conventional techniques in elastography estimate the axial strain as the gradient of the
displacement (time-delay) estimates obtained using cross-correlation of pre-and temporally …

A major challenge of free-hand palpation ultrasound elastography (USE) is estimating the
displacement of RF samples between pre-and post-compressed RF data. The problem of …

Elasticity imaging techniques with built-in or regularization-based smoothing feature for
ensuring strain continuity are not intelligent enough to prevent distortion or lesion edge …

In conventional elastography, internal tissue deformations, induced by external compression
applied to the tissue surface, are estimated by cross-correlation analysis of echo signals …
