After X-radiography, ultrasound is now the most common of all the medical imaging
technologies. For millennia, manual palpation has been used to assist in diagnosis, but it is …

While there is significant literature available as research publications, limited reviews, and
book chapters, this is the first dedicated book on biomedical and biotechnological …

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 strain imaging is used to measure local tissue deformations. Usually, only strains
along the ultrasound beam are estimated, because those estimates are most precise, due to …

The accuracy of a transient elastography liver-scanning ultrasound system was assessed
using a novel application of PVA-cryogel as a tissue-mimicking material with acoustic and …

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 …

Electromechanical wave imaging (EWI) has recently been introduced as a noninvasive,
ultrasound-based imaging modality, which could map the electrical activation of the heart in …

The aims of this study were to quantify the textural information of strain rate images in
ultrasound carotid elastography and evaluate the feasibility of using the textural features in …

Ultrasound strain imaging utilizes radio-frequency (RF) ultrasound echo signals to estimate
the relative elasticity of tissue under deformation. Due to the diagnostic value inherent in …

Energy-based ultrasound elastography techniques minimize a regularized cost function
consisting of data and continuity terms to obtain local displacement estimates based on the …
