In this paper, we propose a novel framework for time delay estimation in ultrasound
elastography. In the presence of high acquisition noise, the state-of-the-art motion tracking …

This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate the displacement fields, which is a
common and challenging step in ultrasound elastography. Maximization of normalized cross …

This paper introduces two real-time elastography techniques based on analytic minimization
(AM) of regularized cost functions. The first method (1D AM) produces axial strain and …

In this work, we developed an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) to reconstruct
the ultrasound elastography directly from radio frequency (RF) data. The novelty of this …

Displacement estimation is a critical step in ultrasound elastography and failing to estimate
displacement correctly can result in large errors in strain images. As conventional ultrasound …

A strain-based elastography is developed to identify lesions from the phase information of
ultrasonic radio frequency (RF) signals in this study: a phase shift method using prior …

Modern medicine cannot ignore the significance of elastography in diagnosis and treatment
plans. Despite improvements in accuracy and spatial resolution of elastograms, robustness …

Quasi-static ultrasound elastography (USE) is an imaging modality that measures
deformation (ie strain) of tissue in response to an applied mechanical force. In USE, the …

We propose a new method for strain field estimation in quasi-static ultrasound elastography
based on matching RF data frames of compressed tissues. The method benefits from using …

Obtaining accurate ultrasonically estimated displacements along both axial (parallel to the
acoustic beam) and lateral (perpendicular to the beam) directions is an important task for …
