A hybrid approach that inherits both the robustness of the regularized motion tracking
approach and the efficiency of the predictive search approach is reported. The basic idea is …

Elastography provides tissue mechanical information to differentiate normal and disease
states. Nowadays, axial displacement and strain are usually estimated in clinical practice …

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture can initiate stroke or myocardial infarction. Lipid-rich plaques
with thin fibrous caps have a higher risk to rupture than fibrotic plaques. Elastic moduli differ …

Purpose: Features extracted from axial‐shear strain images of breast masses have been
previously utilized to differentiate and classify benign from malignant breast masses. In this …

In ultrasound elastography, plane-wave acquisitions and angular displacement
compounding (ADC) are often used and combined to allow high frame rates and to improve …
