Motion Trajectories For Ultrasound Displacement Quantification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a robust methodology to quantify displacements in musculoskeletal ultrasound sequences. This paper extends the principles of 2D interframe displacements produced by our earlier work using hierarchical variable block size matching, to quantify displacement trajectories. We provide novel solutions for probe motion, quantification of objects moving in the 3D volume traversing the 2D plane, and improving the temporal coherence of displacements for typical captured sequences, direct from modern ultrasound machines.

متن کاملTendon motion and strain patterns evaluated with two-dimensional ultrasound elastography.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of 2D ultrasound elastography to assess tendon tissue motion and strain under axial loading conditions. Four porcine flexor tendons were cyclically loaded to 4% peak strain using a servo hydraulic test system. An ultrasound transducer was positioned to image a longitudinal cross-section of the tendon during loading. Ultrasound radiofrequency (RF...
متن کاملComputer Vision Elastography
This thesis is concerned with developing a two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound speckle tracking technique to quantify 2D axial and lateral strain fields for studying tissue dynamics. Knowledge of tissue displacement to infer strain characteristics is of major clinical importance. In part, this is due to the lack of simple and accurate non-invasive techniques to measure in vivo strain. The establish...
متن کاملAnalysis of Motion Velocity in Ultrasound Images
In this paper, block-matching with Gaussian Filter adaptive technique is proposed to estimate the motion velocity displacement point in the ultrasound image. We apply the Hexagon-Diamond Displacement Point (HDDP) technique to estimate the motion displacement. The motion displacement is based on the hexagon and diamond displacement pattern search points. The displacement pattern search point is ...
متن کاملTemperature Mapping Using Ultrasound Digital Images
Introduction: The success of hyperthermia depends on the accuracy of the temperature monitoring in the tumor and the surrounding normal tissue. In this study, the temperature changes were determined by computing the speckle displacement in the ultrasound digital images. Speckle tracking algorithm was used to compute the displacement. Materials and Methods: The experiment was perf...
