چکیده انگلیسی
Elastography is a noninvasive method of imaging tissue elasticity using standard ultrasound equipment. In conventional elastography, axial strain elastograms are generated by cross-correlating pre- and postcompression digitized radio frequency (RF) echo frames acquired from the tissue before and after a small uniaxial compression, respectively. The time elapsed between the pre- and the postcompression frames is referred to as the interframe interval. For in vivo elastography, the interframe interval is critical because uncontrolled physiologic motion such as heartbeat, muscle motion, respiration and blood flow introduce interframe decorrelation that reduces the quality of elastograms. To obtain a measure of this decorrelation, in vivo experimental data (from human livers and thyroids) at various interframe intervals were obtained from 20 healthy subjects. To further examine the effect of the different interframe intervals on the elastographic image quality, the experimental data were also used in combination with elastographic simulation data. The deterioration of elastographic image quality was objectively evaluated by computing the area under the strain filter (SF) at a given resolution. The experimental results of this study demonstrate a statistical exponential behavior of the temporal decay of the echo signal cross-correlation amplitudes from the in vivo tissues due to uncontrollable motion. The results also indicate that the dynamic range and height of the SF are reduced at increased interframe intervals, suggesting that good objective image quality may be achieved provided only that a high frame rate is maintained in elastographic applications.
