A stochastic filtering approach to recover strain images from quasi-static ultrasound elastography
BACKGROUND Model-based reconstruction algorithms have shown potentials over conventional strain-based methods in quasi-static elastographic image by using realistic finite element (FE) or bio-mechanical model constraints. However, it is still difficult to properly handle the discrepancies between the model constraint and ultrasound data, and the measurement noise. METHODS In this paper, we ex...
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 کاملReal-time quasi-static ultrasound elastography.
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 continues in this area to the present day. Numerous clinical applications have been investigated, mostly related to cancer imaging, and though these have yet to prove conclusive, the technique has seen increasing ...
متن کامل3D Quasi-Static Ultrasound Elastography With Plane Wave In Vivo
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 distribution in soft tissues in two dimensions using a quasi-static compression. However, as abnormalities can exhibit very heterogeneous shapes, a three dimensional approach would be necessary to accurately measure ...
متن کاملSAR Images: A Stochastic Nonlinear Filtering Approach
The paper proposes a new method for simultaneous estimation of the absolute phase (not simply modulo-2 ), the backsattering coe cients, and the correlation factor of a pair of complex synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. We adopt a Bayesian framework. Therefore, we need the prior knowledge concerning the images to be restored (phase, backscattering coe cients, and correlation factors) and a s...
