Reconstructive Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging for Renal Pathology Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The real-time capability of ultrasound is it’s major advantage for reconstructive elasticity imaging. In addition to providing important immediate feedback during patient examination, real-time data capture provides an excellent means for retrospective data processing. With retrospective processing, normal axial strain images can be optimized for highest SNR, the accuracy of lateral displacement estimates can be improved, and finally, non-linear elastic properties of tissue can be evaluated resulting in contrast enhancement of elasticity imaging. Retrospective processing requires no new data capture and adds new important features to reconstructive ultrasound elasticity imaging.

Model-Based Reconstructive Elasticity Imaging Using Ultrasound
Elasticity imaging is a reconstructive imaging technique where tissue motion in response to mechanical excitation is measured using modern imaging systems, and the estimated displacements are then used to reconstruct the spatial distribution of Young's modulus. Here we present an ultrasound elasticity imaging method that utilizes the model-based technique for Young's modulus reconstruction. Bas...
متن کاملCombined ultrasound, optoacoustic and elasticity imaging
Combination of three complementary imaging technologies ultrasound imaging, elastography, and optoacoustic imaging is suggested for detection and diagnostics of tissue pathology including cancer. The fusion of these ultrasound-based techniques results in a novel imaging system capable of simultaneous imaging of the anatomy (ultrasound imaging), cancer-induced angiogenesis (optoacoustic imaging)...

متن کاملElasticity mapping of murine abdominal organs in vivo using harmonic motion imaging (HMI).
Recently, ultrasonic imaging of soft tissue mechanics has been increasingly studied to image otherwise undetectable pathologies. However, many underlying mechanisms of tissue stiffening remain unknown, requiring small animal studies and adapted elasticity mapping techniques. Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) assesses tissue viscoelasticity by inducing localized oscillation from a periodic acoustic ...
