The perception of stiffness and slipperiness of a breast mass on palpation is used by
physicians to assess the level of suspicion of a lesion as being malignant or benign …

Ultrasound elastography has been found to be useful in different clinical applications. For
example, in breast imaging, axial strain elastography provides information related to tissue …

During manual palpation of breast masses, the perception of its stiffness and slipperiness
are the two commonly used information by the physician. In order to reliably and …

In quasi-static ultrasound elastography, breast tumor classification can be performed by
using the rotation fill-in signature present in the rotation elastogram. This rotation fill-in …

Complementary to axial, lateral displacement and strain can provide important information
on the biological soft tissues. In this paper, the effects of key parameters (ie, lateral …

It is well-documented in literature that benign breast lesions, such as fibroadenomas, are
loosely bonded to their surrounding tissue and tend to slip under a small quasi-static …

The rotation fill-in is a signature of tumor benignity in rotation elastograms and has been
used for breast tumor classification. It is a consequence of the bonding condition at the tumor …

Spatial‐angular compounding is a new technique that enables the reduction of noise
artifacts in ultrasound elastography. Under this method, compounded elastograms are …

Spatial-angular compounding is a new technique developed for improving the signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR) in elastography. Under this method, elastograms of a region-of-interest …

Elastography provides tissue mechanical information to differentiate normal and disease
states. Nowadays, axial displacement and strain are usually estimated in clinical practice …
