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 …

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 …

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 …

Tracking the displacement between the pre-and post-deformed radio-frequency (RF) frames
is a pivotal step of ultrasound elastography, which depicts tissue mechanical properties to …

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 …

Ultrasound elastography entails imaging mechanical properties of tissue and is therefore of
significant clinical importance. In elastography, two frames of radio-frequency (RF) …

Displacement estimation is a critical step in ultrasound elastography and failing to estimate
displacement correctly can result in large errors in strain images. As conventional ultrasound …

Ultrasound elastography involves imaging tissue while it undergoes deformation and
inferring its mechanical properties from the deformation pattern. The initial deformation in the …

Ultrasound Elastography is an emerging imaging technique that allows estimation of the
mechanical characteristics of tissue. Two issues that need to be addressed before …

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 …
