This paper presents first in vivo experiments for breast tumor detection using transient
elastography. This technique has been developed for detection and quantitative mapping of …

Abstract Changes in tissue elasticity are generally correlated with its pathological state. In
many cases, despite the difference in elasticity, the small size of a lesion or its location deep …

Objectives To evaluate whether real‐time elastography, a new, non‐invasive method for the
diagnosis of breast cancer, improves the differentiation and characterization of benign and …

This paper presents an initial clinical evaluation of in vivo elastography for breast lesion
imaging using the concept of supersonic shear imaging. This technique is based on the …

A prototype freehand elastographic imaging system has been developed for clinical breast
imaging. The system consists of a fast data acquisition system, which is able to capture …

We developed a freehand method for ultrasound elastography, which can be applied during
a routine sonographic examination with off-line calculation of strain images (elastograms) …

Breast elastography is being increasingly used to better characterize breast lesions.
Published studies have shown that it improved specificity of B mode ultrasound. Two …

We review the principles of elastography and some of its accomplishments to date in the
area of breast imaging in vivo. We present a literature review of a variety of methods for the …

Strain elastography (SE), which estimates tissue strain, is an adjunct to the conventional
ultrasound B-mode examination. We present a short introduction to SE and its clinical use …

Changes in tissue elasticity are generally correlated with its pathological state. In many
cases, despite the difference in elasticity, the small size of a lesion or its location deep in the …
