Abstract

Inducing interference patterns of shear wave is one of the proposed methods for reducing the frame rate in measuring wave speed during tissue elastography. Previously, the Nyquist rate must be met in order to provide an appropriate image for extracting the patterns with a reasonable accuracy. In this article we propose a technique based on image registration, and apply it to ultrasound images acquired before and after inducing the shear waves to estimate the amplitude of displacement. The displacement of the tissue is then used to form the interference pattern of shear waves. The method does not induce any restrictions on the time interval between images, so the tissue elasticity can be calculated independent of the imaging rate. The average error in measuring the elasticity of the simulated phantom is 13.7%. © 2016 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved.
