ULTRASONIC ELASTOGRAPHY WITH ANGULAR COMPOUNDING
WARF: P03415US

Inventors: James Zagzebski, Tomy Varghese


The Invention
Ultrasonic strain measurements, which characterize the structure of tissue, may be obtained by combining multiple echo signals acquired at different compressions and at different angles. Such angular compounding may improve the quality of the elastic signal and provide at one time both an axial and lateral strain measurement.
