Abstract

Strain imaging is useful for visualizing information related to tissue stiffness. However, strain is a parameter that depends on the boundary conditions, tissue connectivity and geometry. As a result, tissue hardness cannot be quantitatively evaluated from the strain distribution. Therefore, reconstruction of the elastic modulus (Young's Modulus) distribution has been investigated for quantitative evaluation of tissue hardness. A method has
