This paper proposes a method of 2-D translations estimation using an a priori signal model.
Two analytical signals defined with multidimensional Hilbert transform are considered and …

Ultrasound elastography involves imaging tissue while it undergoes deformation and
inferring its mechanical properties from the deformation pattern. The initial deformation in the …

Complementary to axial, lateral and elevational displacement and strain can provide
important information on the mechanical properties of biological soft tissues. In this paper …

Ultrasound elastography can provide tissue stiffness information that is complementary to
the anatomy and blood flow information offered by conventional ultrasound machines, but it …

Complementary to axial, lateral displacement and strain can provide important information
on the biological soft tissues in all applications of elastography. In this paper, the effect of …

Objective: We have developed a method for real-time elasticity imaging implemented on a
clinical sonography system. We have now acquired adequate clinical data to begin …

In this study we investigated multi-frame motion estimation for freehand ultrasound
elastography and its application to thyroid tumor imaging. Motion analysis using a technique …

In this correspondence, a method of analytic subsample spatial shift estimation based on an
a priori nD signal model is proposed. The estimation uses the linear phases of n analytic …

Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound elastography can provide 3-D tissue stiffness
information that may be used during clinical diagnoses. In the framework of strain …

Obtaining accurate displacement estimates along both axial (parallel to the acoustic beam)
and lateral (perpendicular to the beam) directions is an important task for several clinical …
