Accurately estimating all strain components in quasi-static ultrasound elastography is crucial
for the full analysis of biological media. In this study, 2D strain tensor imaging was …

Ultrasound is a highly adaptable medical imaging modality that offers several applications
and a wide range of uses, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The principles of …

Ultrasonic elastography is an imaging technique providing information about the relative
stiffness of biological tissues. In general, elastography suffers from noise artifacts, which …

Ultrasonic wave interference produces local fluctuations in both the envelope, known as
speckle, and phase of echoes. Furthermore, such fluctuations are correlated in space, and …

In elastography, tissue under investigation is compressed, and the resulting strain is
estimated from the gradient of displacement estimates. Therefore, it is important to …

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

Beyond all recent methods for estimating multidimensional motion vectors in ultrasound
(US) image sequences, the transverse oscillation (TO) images coupled with a phase-based …

An efficient block matching and spectral shift estimation algorithm for freehand quasi-static
ultrasound elastography is described in this paper. The proposed method provides a …

The utilization of a reverberant shear-wave field in shear-wave elastography has emerged
as a promising technique for achieving robust shear-wave speed (SWS) estimation …

In this paper, we have evaluated the use of smooth windows for ultrasound elastography. In
ultrasound elastography, local tissue strain is estimated using operations such as cross …
