  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ULTRASOUND ELASTOGRAPHY
    Publication number: 20190167233
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides methods and systems for ultrasound elastography, including the use of ultrasound to assess the mechanical properties of tissue in a three-dimensional volume. An exemplary method for ultrasound elastography includes emitting at least one non-focused wave on a target, obtaining Radio Frequency (RF) signals from the non-focused wave, beamforming 3D volumes from the RF, calculating at least two 3D displacements by comparing each volume to a reference volume, and integrating the 3D displacements to create a 3D cumulative axial strain volume.
