RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Improvements in the diagnosis of early breast cancers
depend on a physician's ability to obtain the information necessary to distinguish …

Ultrasound elastography is a technique used for clinical imaging of tissue stiffness with a
conventional ultrasound machine. It was first proposed two decades ago, but active research …

Mechanical properties of biological tissue represent important diagnostic information and
are of histological and pathological relevance. In order to obtain non-invasively mechanical …

Quasi-static elasticity imaging techniques rely on model-based mathematical inverse
methods to estimate mechanical parameters from force-displacement measurements. These …

Many manufacturers of ultrasound systems offer elastography capabilities. Though the
