Mechanics of ultrasound elastography
Ultrasound elastography enables in vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of living soft tissues in a non-destructive and non-invasive manner and has attracted considerable interest for clinical use in recent years. Continuum mechanics plays an essential role in understanding and improving ultrasound-based elastography methods and is the main focus of this review. In particular, the mech...
متن کاملIntracoronary ultrasound: current state of the art.
For the last 30 years, coronary angiography has been the definitive method of evaluating coronary artery anatomy. The introduction of percutaneous coronary revascularisation and the growing appreciation of the pathophysiological and prognostic importance of arterial wall morphology have led to the realisation that angiography is inherently limited in defining the distribution and extent of coro...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound elastography
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography is an imaging procedure used for the visualization of tissue elasticity during usual EUS examinations. EUS elastography can be accomplished real-time with state-of-the-art ultrasound systems, with the images being represented in transparent color superimposed on the conventional gray-scale B-mode scans. The aim of this review was to introduce the potenti...
متن کاملQuasi-Static Ultrasound Elastography.
Elastography is a new imaging modality where elastic tissue parameters related to the structural organization of normal and pathological tissues are imaged. Basic principles underlying the quasi-static elastography concept and principles are addressed. The rationale for elastographic imaging is reinforced using data on elastic properties of normal and abnormal soft tissues. The several orders o...
متن کاملTracked Ultrasound Elastography (TrUE)
This paper presents a robust framework for freehand ultrasound elastography to cope with uncertainties of freehand palpation using the information from an external tracker. In order to improve the quality of the elasticity images, the proposed method selects a few image pairs such that in each pair the lateral and out-of-plane motions are minimized. It controls the strain rate by choosing the a...
