A major challenge of free-hand palpation ultrasound elastography (USE) is estimating the
displacement of RF samples between pre-and post-compressed RF data. The problem of …

Energy-based ultrasound elastography techniques minimize a regularized cost function
consisting of data and continuity terms to obtain local displacement estimates based on the …

Tracking the displacement between the pre-and post-deformed radio-frequency (RF) frames
is a pivotal step of ultrasound elastography, which depicts tissue mechanical properties to …

Quasi-static ultrasound elastography (USE) is an imaging modality that consists of
determining a measure of deformation (ie strain) of soft tissue in response to an applied …

Time delay estimation (TDE) between two radio-frequency (RF) frames is one of the major
steps of quasi-static ultrasound elastography, which detects tissue pathology by estimating …

A critical step in quasi-static ultrasound elastography is the estimation of time delay between
two frames of radio-frequency (RF) data that are obtained while the tissue is undergoing …

Ultrasound elastography is a prominent noninvasive medical imaging technique that
estimates tissue elastic properties to detect abnormalities in an organ. A common …

This paper introduces two real-time elastography techniques based on analytic minimization
(AM) of regularized cost functions. The first method (1D AM) produces axial strain and …

This paper introduces a novel technique to estimate tissue displacement in quasi-static
elastography. A major challenge in elastography is estimation of displacement (also referred …

Displacement estimation is a critical step in ultrasound elastography and failing to estimate
displacement correctly can result in large errors in strain images. As conventional ultrasound …
