Many ultrasound elastograms are reconstructed from pre-and post-compression
radiofrequency (RF) signals after beamforming using a single or a few focusing depths. This …

During the past decade, signals from conventional focusing schemes with one or a few focal
depths have been used in ultrasound elastography. Echo signals from transducer elements …

Complementary to axial, lateral displacement and strain can provide important information
on the biological soft tissues. In this paper, the effects of key parameters (ie, lateral …

Ultrasound elastography is an imaging technique addressed to investigate the tissue elastic
properties. In freehand elastography, the ultrasound probe is moved by the operator to …

Spatial-angular compounding is a new technique that enables the reduction of noise
artifacts in ultrasound elastography. Previous results using spatial angular compounding …

In this paper we present a beamforming technique based on synthetic aperture imaging that
enables to improve the radio-frequency (RF) ultrasound images with lateral oscillations for …

Complementary to axial, lateral displacement and strain can provide important information
on the biological soft tissues in all applications of elastography. In this paper, the effect of …

In this paper, we have evaluated the use of smooth windows for ultrasound elastography. In
ultrasound elastography, local tissue strain is estimated using operations such as cross …

In current practice, only one out of three components of the tissue displacement vector and
one of nine components of the strain tensor are accurately estimated and imaged in …

Complementary to axial, lateral and elevational displacement and strain can provide
important information on the mechanical properties of biological soft tissues. In this paper …
