Elastography is a new imaging modality where elastic tissue parameters related to the
structural organization of normal and pathological tissues are imaged. Basic principles …

Objective. The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the performance of real‐
time tissue elastography (RTE) in the evaluation of breast masses and correlate RTE and …

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 …

Cardiac elastography (CE) is an ultrasound-based technique utilizing radio-frequency (RF)
signals for assessing global and regional myocardial function. In this work, a complete strain …

Polar strain (radial and circumferential) estimations can suffer from artifacts because the
center of a nonsymmetrical carotid atherosclerotic artery, defining the coordinate system in …

Strain is considered to be a useful indicator of atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability. This
study introduces an alternative for a recently introduced strain imaging method that …

Unlike researchers in magnetic resonance imaging who have considerable access to high
level tools and to data at a very basic level on their scanners, those involved with ultrasound …

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

Spatial-angular compounding is a new technique developed for improving the signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR) in elastography. Under this method, elastograms of a region-of-interest …

There is increasing evidence that supports the hypothesis that elevated cyclic shear strain in
the adventitia of the common carotid artery promotes plaque progression. In this article, we …
