Elastography is a medical imaging modality that enables visualization of tissue stiffness. It
involves quasi-static or harmonic mechanical stimulation of the tissue to generate a …

Background In ultrasound elastography, reconstruction of tissue elasticity (eg, Young's
modulus) requires regularization and known information of forces and/or displacements on …

Progress in ultrasound elasticity imaging (UEI) shows promise as a new way for early
detection of cancers by assessing elastic characteristics of soft tissue. However its …

Several cancer types, including breast cancer, are associated with tissue structural changes
that yield tissue stiffening. Clinical breast examination (CBE) is a physical examination of the …

Tissue stiffness is often correlated to its pathological state and can be used as a basis for
initial recognition of many tissue abnormalities. The term elastography refers to the class of …

Reconstructing tissue elastic properties from dis-placements measured in quasi-static
ultrasound elastography is a challenging task. Indeed, it requires to solve an ill-posed …

Ultrasound (US) based tissue elasticity imaging introduces a new challenging inverse
problem measurements of internal tissue motion induced by a small external compression …

A new elastography method is presented that images the mechanical properties of soft
tissue. The tissue is externally vibrated over a range of frequencies simultaneously and the …

Tissue elastography is a field of medical imaging which deals with obtaining images of
tissue mechanical properties, in particular tissue elasticity. Every elastography imaging …

Quasi-static ultrasound elastography mainly provides images of the axial strain that
biological tissues experience when compressed. In this study, a virtual fields–based method …
