We review the principles of elastography and some of its accomplishments to date in the
area of breast imaging in vivo. We present a literature review of a variety of methods for the …

Abstract Changes in tissue elasticity are generally correlated with its pathological state. In
many cases, despite the difference in elasticity, the small size of a lesion or its location deep …

Elastography is a method that can ultimately generate several new kinds of images, called
elastograms. As such, all the properties of elastograms are different from the familiar …

The basic principles of using sonographic techniques for imaging the elastic properties of
tissues are described, with particular emphasis on elastography. After some preliminaries …

The mechanical attributes of soft tissues depend on their molecular building blocks (fat,
collagen etc.), on the microscopic and macroscopic structural organization of these blocks …

Recently, a number of methods have been developed that make it possible to image the
elastic properties of soft tissues. Because certain types of tissues such as malignant lesions …

Elastography is a new imaging modality where elastic tissue parameters related to the
structural organization of normal and pathological tissues are imaged. Basic principles …

We developed a freehand method for ultrasound elastography, which can be applied during
a routine sonographic examination with off-line calculation of strain images (elastograms) …

We describe a new method for quantitative imaging of strain and elastic modulus
distributions in soft tissues. The method is based on external tissue compression, with …
