A Modified 2D Multiresolution Hybrid Algorithm for Ultrasound Strain Imaging

Figure 9

Strain binary images of three different algorithms. Different strain levels as 1.5%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 3.5%, and 4.0% are applied at each column. The first column ((a)–(e)), the second column ((f)–(j)), and the third column ((k)–(o)) show, respectively, the strain binary map obtained by the corresponding strain map using 1D elastography, downsampled 1D elastography, and the proposed 2D elastography method.
