Purpose: Quasistatic ultrasound elastography (QUE) is being used to augment in vivo
characterization of breast lesions. Results from early clinical trials indicated that there was a …

Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) is a newly developed elastography technique that
uses acoustic radiation force to provide additional stiffness information to conventional …

Strain elastography (SE) is a technique in which images of localized tissue strains are used
to detect the relative stiffness of tissues. The application of SE in differentiating malignant …

Cancer detection and classification have been the focus of many imaging and therapeutic
research studies. Elastography is a non-invasive technique to visualize suspicious soft …

Breast cancer is the most common and deadly cancer in women, where early detection is of
the utmost importance as survival rates decrease with the advancement of the disease. Most …

Objective: Ultrasound elasticity imaging is a class of ultrasound techniques with applications
that include the detection of malignancy in breast lesions. Although elasticity imaging …

Background Elastography is a promising way to assess tissue differences regarding stiffness
or elasticity, which has been historically assessed manually by palpation. Combined with …

The elastic properties of tissue are related to tissue composition and pathological changes. It
has been observed that many pathological processes increase the elastic modulus of soft …

In recent years, the use of elastography in addition to sonography has become a routine
clinical tool for the characterization of breast masses. Studies have investigated the …
