Acoustic properties of two types of soft tissue-like media were measured as a function of compressive strain. Samples were subjected to uniaxial strains up to 40% along the axis of the transducer beam. Measurements were analyzed to test a common assu

A maximum-likelihood (ML) strategy for strain estimation is presented as a framework for designing and evaluating bioelasticity imaging systems. Concepts from continuum mechanics, signal analysis, and acoustic scattering are combined to develop a mat

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method provides a numerical technique for solving acoustic forward problems. The FDTD is particularly useful in geometries that encompass heterogeneities. Plane-wave modeling permits the simulation of many pra

Ultrasonic strain imaging has drawn much attention recently because of its ability to noninvasively provide information on spatial variation of the elastic properties of soft tissues. Traditionally, local strain is estimated by scaling and cross corr

Companding may be used as a technique for generating low-noise strain images. It involves warping radio-frequency echo fields in two dimensions and at several spatial scales to minimize decorrelation errors in correlation-based displacement estimates

Companding is a signal preprocessing technique for improving the precision of correlation-based time delay measurements. In strain imaging, companding is applied to warp 2-D or 3-D ultrasonic echo fields to improve coherence between data acquired bef

The visibility of soft-tissue lesions in strain imaging is currently limited by strain noise from waveform decorrelation. Attempts to balance noise reduction with concerns for contrast and spatial resolution rely on accurate models of time delay cova

A simple mathematical model is proposed that predicts the dynamics of chronic progressive renal disease. The model consists of coupled linear differential equations formed from three state variables, four control parameters, and three parameters rela

Precision errors that occur in estimating the average scatterer size from pulse-echo ultrasound waveforms are examined in detail. The method-independent lower bound on estimation error is found from the Cramér-Rao inequality for comparison with the

An autoregressive (AR) spectral estimation method was considered for the purpose of estimating scatterer size images. The variance and bias of the resulting estimates were compared with those using classical FFT periodograms for a range of input sign
