Abstract

Using the incompressibility property of soft tissue, lateral displacements can be reconstructed from axial strain measurements. Results of simulations and experiments on gelatin-based tissue equivalent phantoms are compared with theoretical displacements, as well as estimates derived from traditional speckle tracking. Incompressibility processing greatly improves the accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of lateral displacement measurements compared with more traditional speckle tracking.
