In this paper, we propose a novel framework for time delay estimation in ultrasound
elastography. In the presence of high acquisition noise, the state-of-the-art motion tracking …

Time delay estimation (TDE) is a critical and challenging step in all ultrasound elastography
methods. A growing number of TDE techniques require an approximate but robust and fast …

This paper introduces a novel technique to estimate tissue displacement in quasi-static
elastography. A major challenge in elastography is estimation of displacement (also referred …

Many types of cancers are associated with changes in tissue mechanical properties. This
has led to the development of elastography as a clinically viable method where tissue …

Ultrasound elastography is a modality that is uniquely suited to augment conventional B-
mode ultrasound for various clinical applications. Motion tracking plays a critically important …

Herein, a novel algorithm is proposed for strain estimation in free-hand palpation quasi-
static ultrasound elastography. In all previously proposed methods for strain estimation, post …

Tissue motion tracking is a critically important step for many ultrasound elastography
applications. In this study, we are particularly interested in evaluating motion tracking …

Ultrasound elastography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that maps
viscoelastic properties to characterize tissues and diseases. Elastography can be divided …

Cancer is known to induce significant structural changes to tissue. In most cancers, including
breast cancer, such changes yield tissue stiffening. As such, imaging tissue stiffness can be …

Quasi-static ultrasound elastography (USE) is an imaging modality that consists of
determining a measure of deformation (ie strain) of soft tissue in response to an applied …
