Nonlinear characterization of breast cancer using multi-compression 3D ultrasound elastography in vivo.
TLDR
The proposed elastographic techniques can be used as a noninvasive quantitative characterization tool for breast cancer, with the capability of visualizing and separating the masses in a three dimensional space, and may reduce the number of unnecessary painful breast biopsies.About:

TL;DR: The Young’s modulus of breast tissues is highly dependent on the tissue preload compression level and the results of these studies clearly indicate a wide variation in moduli not only among different types of tissue but also within each type of tissue.

A New Method for Estimating the Effective Poisson’s Ratio in Ultrasound Poroelastography
TL;DR: A new two-step EPR estimation technique based on dynamic programming elastography (DPE) and Horn-Schunck optical flow estimation that provides EPR elastograms of higher quality and accuracy than those produced by AM and CM.

Correspondence - 3-D ultrasonic strain imaging based on a linear scanning system
TL;DR: The experimental results show that high-quality 3-D strain images of phantom and human tissues can be generated by the proposed method, indicating that the proposed system can be applied for real clinical applications (e.g., musculoskeletal assessments).

Elastography: A Quantitative Method for Imaging the Elasticity of Biological Tissues
TL;DR: Initial results of several phantom and excised animal tissue experiments are reported which demonstrate the ability of this technique to quantitatively image strain and elastic modulus distributions with good resolution, sensitivity and with diminished speckle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic Moduli of Breast and Prostate Tissues under Compression
TL;DR: To evaluate the dynamic range of tissue imaged by elastography, the mechanical behavior of breast and prostate tissue samples subject to compression loading has been investigated and the data show that breast fat tissue has a constant modulus over the strain range tested while the other tissues have a modulus that is dependent on the strain level.
