    Journal: Ultrasonics; 2006 Dec 22; 44 Suppl 1():e189-93. PubMed ID: 16870223.
    Abstract:
    Most of the studies devoted to elastography are focused on the estimation of the axial component of the strain. However when subjected to any load, whatever the direction, soft biological media deform in the three spatial dimensions. The aim of our work is to build a three dimensional strain mapping from data acquired with a 3D clinical sectorial probe. The estimation of radial strain is based on the estimation of local scaling factors. A method of cross-correlation of interpolated signals between adjacent radiofrequency lines was used to estimate the angular displacement and strain. For the sectorial strain estimation, the same displacement estimation technique has been implemented. The method has been tested on experimental data acquired on calibrated phantoms and compared to simulation.
