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

Cardiac disease and stroke are the major causes of death in the Western World.
Atherosclerosis of the carotid artery is the most important predictor of stroke. Elastography is …

In this study, the magnetic resonance (MR) elastography technique was used to estimate the
dynamic shear modulus of mouse brain tissue in vivo. The technique allows visualization …

Tracking the displacement between the pre-and post-deformed radio-frequency (RF) frames
is a pivotal step of ultrasound elastography, which depicts tissue mechanical properties to …

Obtaining accurate displacement estimates along both axial (parallel to the acoustic beam)
and lateral (perpendicular to the beam) directions is an important task for several clinical …

Ultrasound strain imaging is used to measure local tissue deformations. Usually, only strains
along the ultrasound beam are estimated, because those estimates are most precise, due to …

Accurately estimating all strain components in quasi-static ultrasound elastography is crucial
for the full analysis of biological media. In this study, 2D strain tensor imaging was …

Ultrasound elastography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that maps
viscoelastic properties to characterize tissues and diseases. Elastography can be divided …

Deformations of the atherosclerotic vascular wall induced by the pulsating blood can be
