摘要: Ultrasound elastography is widely used for the non-invasive measurement of tissue elasticity properties. Shear wave imaging (SWI) a quantitative method assessing stiffness. SWI has been demonstrated to be less operator dependent than quasi-static elastography, and ability acquire information in contrast with acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging. However, traditional implementations cannot two dimensional (2D) images distribution. This study proposes evaluates scanning-mode 2D (s2D-SWI) system. The hardware image processing algorithms are presented detail. Programmable devices support flexible control system algorithms. An analytic signal based cross-correlation Radon transformation shear speed determination proposed, which can implemented using parallel computation. Imaging mimicking phantoms, vitro, vivo test conducted demonstrate performance proposed s2D-SWI represents new choice mapping elasticity, great potential implementation commercial ultrasound scanners.
