We consider the problem of estimating the 2 D vector displacement field in a heterogeneous
elastic solid deforming under plane stress conditions. The problem is motivated by …

Quasi‐static elasticity imaging can improve diagnosis and detection of diseases that affect
the mechanical behavior of tissue. In this methodology, images of the shear modulus of the …

In order to image the shear modulus in soft tissue, for medical diagnosis, given one
component of measured displacements as a function of time on an imaging plane, two …

The goal of quantitative elastography is to identify biomechanical parameters from interior
displacement data, which are provided by other modalities, such as ultrasound or magnetic …

Background Model-based reconstruction algorithms have shown potentials over
conventional strain-based methods in quasi-static elastographic image by using realistic …

We examine the inverse problem associated with quantitative elastic modulus imaging:
given the equilibrium strain field in a 2D incompressible elastic material, determine the …

As the pathological characteristics of living tissue generally correlate with tissue stiffness,
techniques such as ultrasound elastography play an important role in the medical field. One …

The purpose of ultrasound elastography is to identify lesions by reconstructing the hardness
characteristics of tissue reconstructed from ultrasound data. Conventional quasi-static …

Identification of the mechanical properties of a viscoelastic material depends on
characteristics of the observed motion field within the object in question. For certain physical …

Background The convectional strain-based algorithm has been widely utilized in clinical
practice. It can only provide the information of relative information of tissue stiffness …
