Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) is a new approach to imaging and characterizing
tissue structures based on the use of shear acoustic waves remotely induced by the …

A noninvasive technique for monitoring tissue temperature changes due to heating fields
using diagnostic ultrasound is described. The approach is based on the discrete scattering …

In ultrasound elasticity imaging, strain decorrelation is a major source of error in
displacements estimated using correlation techniques. This error can be significantly …

A new method to reconstruct the elastic modulus of soft tissue subjected to an external static
compression is presented. In this approach the Newton-Raphson method is used to vary a …

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 …

A method is presented to reconstruct the elastic modulus of soft tissue based on ultrasonic
displacement and strain images. Incompressible and compressible media are considered …

A method is introduced to measure internal mechanical displacement and strain by means
of MRI. Such measurements are needed to reconstruct an image of the elastic Young's …

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and its sequela, pulmonary embolism (PE), is the leading
cause of preventable in-hospital mortality in the USA and other developed countries. After it …

A method is presented to reconstruct the elastic modulus of soft tissue based on ultrasonic
displacement and strain images for comparatively large deformations. If the average …

We present a review of elastography from a systems point of view. We show that
elastography can be viewed as a cascade of two distinct processes. The first process …
