Most strain imaging techniques follow a pipeline strategy: in the first step, tissue
displacement is estimated from radio-frequency (RF) frames, and in the second step, a …

In elastography, several methods for 2-D strain imaging have been introduced, based on
both raw frequency (RF) data and speckle-tracking. Although the precision and lesion …

In ultrasound elastography, the strain in compressed tissue due to external deformation is
estimated and is smaller in harder than softer tissue. With increased stress, the nonaxial …

The cross-correlation algorithm used to compute the local strain components for
elastographic imaging requires a minimum radio-frequency data segment length of around …

In this paper, we present a new approach to calculate 2D strain through the registration of
the pre-and post-compression (deformation) B-mode image sequences based on an …

Conventional techniques in elastography estimate strain as the gradient of the displacement
estimates obtained through crosscorrelation of pre-and postcompression rf A-lines. In these …

This paper introduces a novel technique to estimate tissue displacement in quasi-static
elastography. A major challenge in elastography is estimation of displacement (also referred …

Ultrasound elastography is emerging with enormous potential as a medical imaging
modality for effective discrimination of pathological changes in soft tissue. It maps the tissue …

In the conventional cross-correlation-based strain estimation, there is a trade-off between
the interpolation accuracy and the computational requirement. On the other hand, the …

Palpation has been widely used to detect hard tumorous tissues surrounded by softer
normal tissues. The goal of ultrasound tissue elasticity imaging is to extract information …
