Because errors in displacement and strain estimates depend on the magnitude of the
induced strain, the strain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) will be a function of the applied …

The elastic properties of tissues are expected to provide novel information for use in
diagnosing pathologic changes in tissues and discriminating between malignant and benign …

Complementary to axial, lateral displacement and strain can provide important information
on the biological soft tissues in all applications of elastography. In this paper, the effect of …

In cross-correlation based elastography, the quality of the strain image is degraded by the
distortion of echo waveforms due to tissue axial and lateral displacement. To study the …

Changes in biological tissues change their elasticity. Elasticity imaging enjoys an ever
increasing role in disease diagnosis. In elastography, tissue strain is estimated using signal …

Obtaining accurate displacement estimates along both axial (parallel to the acoustic beam)
and lateral (perpendicular to the beam) directions is an important task for several clinical …

Elastography is a useful and interesting technique that can be used to infer stiffness
information from ultrasound medical images. In one decade of activity, the scientific …

This research project examines the applicability of novel spectral domain strain estimation
algorithms to improve the clinical value of tissue elasticity images. Pathological changes can …

Cancer is known to induce significant structural changes to tissue. In most cancers, including
breast cancer, such changes yield tissue stiffening. As such, imaging tissue stiffness can be …

Ultrasound elasticity imaging shows promise as a new way for early detection of cancers by
assessing the elastic characteristics of soft tissue. So far the commonly used approach …
