Supersonic shear imaging: a new technique for soft tissue elasticity mapping

open access: closedIEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 2004
Supersonic shear imaging (SSI) is a new ultrasound-based technique for real-time visualization of soft tissue viscoelastic properties. Using ultrasonic focused beams, it is possible to remotely generate mechanical vibration sources radiating low-frequency, shear waves inside tissues.

A new technique for real-time freehand ultrasonic elasticity imaging

open access: closedThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001
A method for high-speed, freehand ultrasonic elasticity imaging will be described. The method is based on a modified block matching technique. The modification serves two purposes. First, in order to achieve real-time performance a forward prediction mechanism is used to reduce the computational load that a conventional block matching technique ...

Comb-push Ultrasound Shear Elastography (CUSE): A novel and fast technique for shear elasticity imaging

open access: closed2012 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2012
Multiple push-detect acquisitions are typically required in current acoustic radiation force based shear wave elasticity imaging methods to reconstruct a full FOV elasticity map, which can result in potential motion artifacts and difficulties in studying tissue dynamic mechanical properties. Comb-push Ultrasound Shear Elastography (CUSE) is a novel and

10B-6 A Composite Imaging Technique for High Frame-Rate and Full-View Cardiovascular Ultrasound and Elasticity Imaging

open access: closed2007 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium Proceedings, 2007
The frame-rate of ultrasound radio-frequency (RF) data acquisition is critical for imaging of the pulse wave and electromechanical wave propagation in cardiovascular tissues as well as improving the strain estimation. Therefore, an automated method had been developed to overcome the frame-rate limitations on standard systems by retrospective multi ...

Dynamic elastic image stretching technique applied to thermographic images

IEE Proceedings I Communications, Speech and Vision, 1990
A method of automatically ‘stretching’ a series of hand thermograms to a standard form is described. It is based on an elastic model which has the iterative and co-operative properties of relaxation labelling, while not requiring large storage space for label updating.
