After X-radiography, ultrasound is now the most common of all the medical imaging
technologies. For millennia, manual palpation has been used to assist in diagnosis, but it is …

Breast elastography is a new sonographic imaging technique for the characterization of
focal breast lesions in addition to conventional ultrasonography (US) and mammography …

In this article, two novel deep learning methods are proposed for displacement estimation in
ultrasound elastography (USE). Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been …

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

Tissue-mimicking phantoms are very useful in the field of tissue characterization and
essential in elastography for the purpose of validating motion estimators. This study is …

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have shown promising results for displacement
estimation in UltraSound Elastography (USE). Many modifications have been proposed to …

In this paper we introduce a new speckle tracking method that is based on the standard time-
domain cross correlation strain estimation (TDE). We call this method time-domain cross …

The mechanical attributes of soft tissues depend on their molecular building blocks (fat,
collagen etc.), on the microscopic and macroscopic structural organization of these blocks …

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an interstitial focal ablative therapy that can be used in a
percutaneous fashion. This modality provides in situ destruction of hepatic tumors. However …
