A critical step in quasi-static ultrasound elastography is the estimation of time delay between
two frames of radio-frequency (RF) data that are obtained while the tissue is undergoing …

In this paper, a novel computationally efficient quasi-static ultrasound elastography
technique is introduced by optimizing an energy function. Unlike conventional elastography …

Ultrasound elastography is a prominent noninvasive medical imaging technique that
estimates tissue elastic properties to detect abnormalities in an organ. A common …

Time delay estimation (TDE) between two radio-frequency (RF) frames is one of the major
steps of quasi-static ultrasound elastography, which detects tissue pathology by estimating …

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 …

A major challenge of free-hand palpation ultrasound elastography (USE) is estimating the
displacement of RF samples between pre-and post-compressed RF data. The problem of …

Elastography involves tracking the ultrasonic A-mode signals before and after mechanical
compression of tissue to form a computed image of the local strains undergone by various …

The range of strains that can be imaged by any practical elastographic imaging system is
inherently limited, and a performance measure is valuable to evaluate these systems from …

Conventional techniques in elastography estimate strain as the gradient of the displacement
estimates obtained through crosscorrelation of pre-and postcompression rf A-lines. In these …

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 …
