With the availability of 3D whole breast ultrasound data (WBUS), a lot of recent research
efforts are devoted to 3D ultrasound strain elastography. We propose a software post …

Obtaining accurate ultrasonically estimated displacements along both axial (parallel to the
acoustic beam) and lateral (perpendicular to the beam) directions is an important task for …

Accurately estimating all strain components in quasi-static ultrasound elastography is crucial
for the full analysis of biological media. In this paper, 2D strain tensor imaging is …

Our primary objective of this paper was to extend a previously published 2-D coupled
subsample tracking algorithm for 3-D speckle tracking in the framework of ultrasound breast …

In quasi-static elastography, the operator compresses the tissue under exam with the probe,
while the scanner processes the beamformed frames, by means of correlation or signal …

Ultrasound elasticity imaging has demonstrated utility in breast imaging, but it is typically
performed with handheld transducers and two-dimensional imaging. Two-dimensional (2D) …

Ultrasound imaging, while offering real-time tissue monitoring, portability, and other benefits,
often suffers from poor signal to noise ratio (SNR). Noise has a particularly detrimental effect …

Regularized optimization-based ultrasound elastography techniques minimize an energy
function consisting of data and continuity terms to obtain the displacement tensor between …

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 …

Ultrasound elastography infers mechanical properties of living tissues from ultrasound
radiofrequency (RF) data recorded while the tissues are undergoing deformation. A …
