Ultrasound elastography is an emerging set of imaging modalities used to image tissue
elasticity and are often referred to as virtual palpation. These techniques have proven …

This paper introduces two real-time elastography techniques based on analytic minimization
(AM) of regularized cost functions. The first method (1D AM) produces axial strain and …

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

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) …

Plane strain tensor estimation using non-invasive vascular ultrasound elastography (NIVE)
can be difficult to achieve using conventional focus beamforming due to limited lateral …

A 2-D strain estimation algorithm was used to estimate tendon strain from ultrasound data
collected during muscle twitch contractions. We first used speckle tracking techniques to …

It is difficult to produce reliable polar strain elastograms (radial and circumferential) because
the center of the carotid artery is typically unknown. Principal strain imaging can overcome …

Estimation of tissue motion in the lateral direction remains a major challenge in 2-D
ultrasound strain imaging (USI). Although various methodologies have been proposed to …

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 …

Axial strain imaging has been utilized for the characterization of breast masses for over a
decade; however, another important feature namely the shear strain distribution around …
