Model-based elastography is an emerging technique with clinical applications in imaging
vascular tissues, guiding minimally invasive therapies and diagnosing breast and prostate …

A major disadvantage of the current practice of elastography is that only the axial component
of the strain is estimated. The lateral and elevational components are basically disregarded …

Several different platforms providing ultrasound elastography have emerged in recent years.
In this in vitro study on a single tissue-mimicking phantom (CIRS Model 49), we aimed to …

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 …

Real-time elastography is a method for visualization of the elastic properties of soft tissue
and may potentially enable differentiation between malignant and benign pathologic …

In current practice, only one out of three components of the tissue displacement vector and
one of nine components of the strain tensor are accurately estimated and imaged in …

Noninvasive elastography (NIVE) produces elastograms that are difficult to interpret
because NIVE visualizes strain in the transducer coordinate system. In this paper, we …

A novel zero-crossing tracking strain estimator (ZCT) has been developed for elastography.
This technique is based on tracking the zero-crossings between the pre-and …

The objective of this study is to assess strain and shear wave (SW) elastography
performance in terms of accuracy by performing in vitro measurements on a calibrated …

Elastography based on strain imaging currently endures mechanical artefacts and limited
contrast transfer efficiency. Solving the inverse elasticity problem (IEP) should obviate these …
