Visualization of HIFU-induced lesion boundaries by axial-shear strain elastography: a feasibility study.
In this paper, we report on a study that investigated the feasibility of reliably visualizing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lesion boundaries using axial-shear strain elastograms (ASSE). The HIFU-induced lesion cases used in the present work were selected from data acquired in a previous study. The samples consisted of excised canine livers with thermal lesions produced by a magnetic...
متن کاملVisualization of bonding at an inclusion boundary using axial-shear strain elastography: a feasibility study.
Ultrasound elastography produces strain images of compliant tissues under quasi-static compression. In axial-shear strain elastography, the local axial-shear strain resulting from application of quasi-static axial compression to an inhomogeneous material is imaged. The overall hypothesis of this work is that the pattern of axial-shear strain distribution around the inclusion/background interfac...
متن کاملBreast tumor classification using axial shear strain elastography: a feasibility study.
Recently, the feasibility of visualizing the characteristics of bonding at an inclusion-background boundary using axial-shear strain elastography was demonstrated. In this paper, we report a feasibility study on the utility of the axial-shear strain elastograms in the classification of in vivo breast tumor as being benign or malignant. The study was performed using data sets obtained from 15 be...
متن کاملResolution of axial shear strain elastography.
The technique of mapping the local axial component of the shear strain due to quasi-static axial compression is defined as axial shear strain elastography. In this paper, the spatial resolution of axial shear strain elastography is investigated through simulations, using an elastically stiff cylindrical lesion embedded in a homogeneously softer background. Resolution was defined as the smallest...
