Elastography is based on the estimation of strain due to tissue compression or expansion.
Conventional elastography involves computing strain as the gradient of the displacement …

Internal strain resulting from tissue deformation can be estimated by correlation processing
of speckle patterns within complex (ie, radio frequency) ultrasound images acquired during …

In the current practice of ultrasound elastography, only the axial component of the
displacement vector is estimated and used to produce strain images. A method was recently …

This study developed an improved motion estimation algorithm for ultrasonic strain imaging
that employs a dynamic programming technique. In this article, we model the motion …

High-frame rate ultrasound imaging is necessary to track fast deformation in ultrasound
elasticity imaging, but the image quality may be degraded. Previously, we investigated the …

A 3-D region-growing motion-tracking (RGMT) method for ultrasound elasticity imaging is
described. This 3-D RGMT method first estimates the displacements at a sparse subset of …

In this work, we developed an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) to reconstruct
the ultrasound elastography directly from radio frequency (RF) data. The novelty of this …

Over the last ten years, the scientific community has shown a strong interest for another
parameter which appears to be a sensitive indicator of the healthy or diseased character of a …

In this paper, a novel real-time kernel-based and gradient-based Phase Root Seeking (PRS)
algorithm for ultrasound elastography is proposed. The signal-to-noise ratio of the strain …

In freehand elastography, quasi-static tissue compression is applied through the ultrasound
probe, and the corresponding axial strain is estimated by calculating the time shift between …
