In elastography, change in signal shape from tissue deformation and nonaxial tissue motion
reduce correlation between the pre-and postcompression echo signals. Appropriate global …

The main signal-processing techniques used in elastography compute strains as the
displacement derivative. They perform well for very low deformations, but suffer rapidly from …

Bamber and Bush (1995) used the correlation coefficient for freehand elasticity imaging.
Varghese and Ophir (1996) found it to be a biased estimator of strain with a large variability …

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 …

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

Ultrasound strain imaging maps the tissue stiffness in the region of interest by estimating
strain when the tissue is stressed. Prestress and poststress ultrasound echoes are …

Ultrasound strain imaging is becoming increasingly popular as a way to measure stiffness
variation in soft tissue. Almost all techniques involve the estimation of a field of relative …

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 a bioelasticity-based imaging modality which has been proved to be a
potential evaluation tool to detect the tissue abnormalities. Conventional method for …

Elastography can produce quality strain images in vitro and in vivo. Standard elastography
uses a coherent cross-correlation technique to estimate tissue displacement and tissue …
