Using the incompressibility property of soft tissue, high quality lateral displacement
distributions can be reconstructed from accurate axial displacement measurements and …

Using the incompressibility property of soft tissue, lateral displacements can be
reconstructed from axial strain measurements. Results of simulations and experiments on …

Most efforts in elastography have focused on recovering the linear properties of tissues
while ignoring their nonlinear behavior which becomes evident at large strains. This chapter …

Evaluation of internal displacement and strain distributions in tissue under externally applied
forces is a necessary step in elasticity imaging. To obtain a quantitative image of the elastic …

A method is presented to reconstruct the elastic modulus of soft tissue based on ultrasonic
displacement and strain images for comparatively large deformations. If the average …

A method is presented to reconstruct the elastic modulus of soft tissue based on ultrasonic
displacement and strain images. Incompressible and compressible media are considered …

In this report, we present the regularization results of displacement vector measurement by
the multidimensional cross-spectrum phase gradient method (MC-SPGM), multidimensional …

A direct mechanical system simultaneously measuring external force and deformation of
samples over a wide dynamic range is used to obtain force-displacement curves of tissue …

In order to image the shear modulus in soft tissue, for medical diagnosis, given one
component of measured displacements as a function of time on an imaging plane, two …

In tissue the Young's modulus cannot be assumed constant over a wide deformation range.
For example, direct mechanical measurements on human prostate show up to a threefold …
