Robust strain estimation is important in elastography. However, a high signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) are sometimes attained by sacrificing resolution …

A least-squares strain estimator (LSQSE) for elastography is proposed. It is shown that with
such an estimator, the signal-to-noise ratio in an elastogram (SNRe) is significantly …

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

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 …

Elastography is based on the estimation of strain due to applied tissue compression. In
conventional elastography, strain is computed from the gradient of the displacement …
