Elastography: A Quantitative Method for Imaging the Elasticity of Biological Tissues
- J. Ophir, I. Céspedes, H. Ponnekanti, Y. Yazdi, X. Li
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Ultrasonic imaging
- 1 April 1991
We describe a new method for quantitative imaging of strain and elastic modulus distributions in soft tissues. The method is based on external tissue compression, with subsequent computation of the… Expand
Elastography: elasticity imaging using ultrasound with application to muscle and breast in vivo.
- I. Céspedes, J. Ophir, H. Ponnekanti, N. Maklad
- Medicine
- Ultrasonic imaging
- 1 April 1993
Changes in tissue elasticity are generally correlated with its pathological state. In many cases, despite the difference in elasticity, the small size of a lesion or its location deep in the body… Expand
Fundamental mechanical limitations on the visualization of elasticity contrast in elastography.
- H. Ponnekanti, J. Ophir, Y. Huang, I. Céspedes
- Physics, Medicine
- Ultrasound in medicine & biology
- 1995
Elastography is a new ultrasonic imaging technique that produces images (elastograms) of the elastic properties of complaint tissue. To determine the Young's modulus it is necessary to measure or… Expand
Methods for estimation of subsample time delays of digitized echo signals.
- I. Céspedes, Y. Huang, J. Ophir, S. Spratt
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Ultrasonic imaging
- 1995
Time delay estimation (TDE) is commonly performed in practice by crosscorrelation of digitized echo signals. Since time delays are generally not integral multiples of the sampling period, the… Expand
Blood flow imaging and volume flow quantitation with intravascular ultrasound.
- W. Li, A. V. D. van der Steen, C. Lancée, I. Céspedes, N. Bom
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Ultrasound in medicine & biology
- 1 February 1998
Current intravascular ultrasound techniques produce real-time imaging of a vessel cross-section with a scan plane approximately normal to blood flow. When a cluster of randomly distributed blood… Expand
Noise reduction in elastograms using temporal stretching with multicompression averaging.
- T. Varghese, J. Ophir, I. Céspedes
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Ultrasound in medicine & biology
- 1996
Elastography uses estimates of the time delay (obtained by cross-correlation) to compute strain estimates in tissue due to quasistatic compression. Because the time delay estimates do not generally… Expand
Reduction of image noise in elastography.
- I. Céspedes, J. Ophir
- Medicine
- Ultrasonic imaging
- 1993
Elastography is a method for imaging the elastic properties of compliant tissues which produces gray scale elasticity images called elastograms. The elastograms of phantoms with homogeneous elastic… Expand
Lesion detection in simulated elastographic and echographic images: a psychophysical study.
- N. Belaïd, I. Céspedes, J. Thijssen, J. Ophir
- Mathematics, Medicine
- Ultrasound in medicine & biology
- 1994
The image quality of two ultrasonic imaging techniques was studied: conventional echography and the recently introduced elastography. The image quality was assessed by estimating the detectability of… Expand
Elastography of beef muscle.
- J. Ophir, R. Miller, H. Ponnekanti, I. Céspedes, A. Whittaker
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Meat science
- 1994
Elastography, a technique that uses ultrasonic pulses to track the internal displacements of small tissue elements in response to an externally applied stress, has been applied to beef muscle. Beef… Expand
Diffraction correction methods for pulse-echo acoustic attenuation estimation.
- I. Céspedes, J. Ophir
- Materials Science, Medicine
- Ultrasound in medicine & biology
- 1990
We describe computer simulations and water tank experiments for the estimation of the attenuation coefficient in scattering media. The efficacies of the Axial Beam Translation (ABT) and Inverse… Expand
