Elastography is emerging as an imaging modality that can distinguish normal versus
diseased tissues via their biomechanical properties. This paper reviews current approaches …

The elastic properties of tissues are expected to provide novel information for use in
diagnosing pathologic changes in tissues and discriminating between malignant and benign …

Ultrasound poroelastography aims at assessing the poroelastic behavior of biological
tissues via estimation of the local temporal axial strains and effective Poisson's ratios (EPR) …

Two new methods of measuring a multidimensional displacement vector using an
instantaneous ultrasound signal phase are described, ie, the multidimensional …

To non-invasively quantify elasticity of soft tissue, we previously developed the iterative two-
dimensional (2-D) rf-echo phase matching method for accurately measuring a 2-D …

Elastography based on strain imaging currently endures mechanical artefacts and limited
contrast transfer efficiency. Solving the inverse elasticity problem (IEP) should obviate these …

Quantitative elasticity imaging seeks to retrieve spatial maps of elastic moduli of tissue.
Unlike strain, which is commonly imaged in compression elastography, elastic moduli are …

Recently, high-frame-rate ultrasound has been extensively studied for measurement of
tissue dynamics, such as pulsations of the carotid artery and heart. Motion estimators are …

To noninvasively quantify tissue elasticity for differentiating malignancy of soft tissue, the
authors previously proposed a two-dimensional (2-D) mechanical inverse problem in which …

We previously reported an ultrasonic strain measurement-based one-dimensional (TD)
shear modulus reconstruction technique using a regularisation method for differential …
