In ultrasound elastography, the resolution and accuracy of strain estimation are bounded by
the sampling period when the echo signal is digitized. Here, the authors describe three new …

The cross-correlation algorithm used to compute the local strain components for
elastographic imaging requires a minimum radio-frequency data segment length of around …

Echo-signal decorrelation due to tissue compression is a significant source of error in tissue
displacement estimates obtained using crosscorrelation. Tissue displacement estimates are …

Elastography is based on the estimation of strain due to tissue compression. Strain is
computed from the estimates of time delays between gated precompression and …

Elastography uses estimates of the time delay (obtained by cross-correlation) to compute
strain estimates in tissue due to quasistatic compression. Because the time delay estimates …

In conventional elastography, strain is estimated from the gradient of the displacement (time-
delay) estimates. The displacement estimates involve estimating the peak location of the …

In conventional elastography, strains are estimated by computing gradient of estimated
displacement. However, gradient-based algorithms are susceptible to noise. We have …

Spectral estimation of tissue strain has been performed previously by using the centroid shift
of the power spectrum or by estimating the variation in the mean scatterer spacing in the …

Elastography is a technique for the estimation of tissue elasticity that is based on the
estimation of strain. Tissue strain can be estimated by finite difference computations of echo …

This paper introduces a 2-D strain imaging technique based on minimizing a cost function
using dynamic programming (DP). The cost function incorporates similarity of echo …
