Adaptive strain estimation using retrospective processing [medical US elasticity imaging]
1999
Because errors in displacement and strain estimates depend on the magnitude of the induced strain, the strain signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) will be a function of the applied deformation. If deformation is applied at the body surface, it is difficult during data acquisition to select a single surface displacement providing the highest strain SNR throughout the image. By applying continuous deformation and capturing data in real-time, the surface displacement providing the highest strain SNR can be selected retrospectively. A method to adaptively optimize strain SNR over the image plane using retrospective processing is presented and demonstrated with experimental results.
