Ultrasound elastography is a medical imaging technique that quantifies tissue mechanical
properties such as elasticity. It involves applying a force to the tissue, and measuring the …

3D ultrasound elastography has the potential to be a fast and accurate approach for
estimating tissue shear modulus from the wave equation. One of the drawbacks of 3D …

Shear wave absolute vibro-elastography (S-WAVE) is an imaging technique that generates
steady-state shear waves inside the tissue using multi-frequency excitation from an external …

Abstract Changes in tissue elasticity are correlated with certain pathological changes, such
as localized stiffening of malignant tumours or diffuse stiffening of liver fibrosis or placenta …

This paper presents the first near-real-time freehand ultrasound elastography system using
a (3-D) mechanical probe. Acquisition is complete within two sec, and only an additional 20 …

Ultrasound transducers are commonly tracked in modern ultrasound navigation/guidance
systems. In this article, we demonstrate the advantages of incorporating tracking information …

In biological tissue, an increase in elasticity is often a marker of abnormalities. Techniques
such as quasi-static ultrasound elastography have been developed to assess the strain …

Real-time ultrasound imaging plays an important role in ultrasound-guided interventions.
The 3-D imaging provides more spatial information compared to conventional 2-D frames by …

Abstract Ultrasound Elastography (USE) or Elastosonography is a non-insasive ultrasound-
based imaging method used to assess tissue elasticity. The different types of ultrasounds …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) utilizes the propagation of induced shear waves
to characterize the shear modulus of soft tissue. Many methods rely on an acoustic radiation …
