Ultrasound elastography is a technique used for clinical imaging of tissue stiffness with a
conventional ultrasound machine. It was first proposed two decades ago, but active research …

In ultrasound elastography, tissue axial strains are calculated from the gradient of the
estimated axial displacements. However, the common differentiation operation amplifies the …

The feasibility of using elastography for experimentally estimating and imaging the Poisson's
ratio of porous media under drained and undrained conditions was investigated. Using …

The specific purpose of this review is to describe the progress of our work on elastography at
the University of Texas Medical School-Houston in the past decade (2000-2010), and to …

Recently, the feasibility of visualizing the characteristics of bonding at an inclusion-
background boundary using axial-shear strain elastography was demonstrated. In this …

We investigated the feasibility of using echo-strain images to visualize the extent of high-
intensity ultrasound (US)-induced thermal lesions during their formation. Echo-strain …

Ultrasound elastography produces strain images of compliant tissues under quasi-static
compression. In axial-shear strain elastography, the local axial-shear strain resulting from …

Lymphedema is a common condition involving an abnormal accumulation of lymphatic fluid
in the interstitial space that causes swelling, most often in the arm (s) and leg (s) …

The cross-correlation algorithm used to compute the local strain components for
elastographic imaging requires a minimum radio-frequency data segment length of around …

The frequency-dependent complex moduli of human uterine tissue have been
characterized. Quantification of the modulus is required for developing uterine ultrasound …
