Now, with the availability of 3-D ultrasound data, a lot of research efforts are being devoted
to developing 3-D ultrasound strain elastography (USE) systems. Because 3-D motion …

Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound elastography can provide 3-D tissue stiffness
information that may be used during clinical diagnoses. In the framework of strain …

Deformation of tissue can be accurately estimated from radio-frequency ultrasound data
using a 2-dimensional normalized cross correlation (NCC)-based algorithm. This procedure …

General purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPUs) has been previously
shown to speed up computationally intensive data processing and image reconstruction …

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 …

In this paper, we present a new approach to calculate 2D strain through the registration of
the pre-and post-compression (deformation) B-mode image sequences based on an …

Tissue motion tracking is a critically important step for many ultrasound elastography
applications. In this study, we are particularly interested in evaluating motion tracking …

Ultrasound elastography is becoming a widely available clinical imaging tool. In recent
years, several realtime elastography algorithms have been proposed; however, most of …

This paper proposes a method of 2-D translations estimation using an a priori signal model.
Two analytical signals defined with multidimensional Hilbert transform are considered and …

This paper introduces a novel technique to estimate tissue displacement in quasi-static
elastography. A major challenge in elastography is estimation of displacement (also referred …
