A 2D phase zero algorithm for estimation of displacement in ultrasound elastography based on the optimization of initial value for iteration

Ultrasound elastography (UE) is an imaging technique based on tissues’ elasticity. UE based on gradient typically assumes that movement only occurs along the propagation direction of an ultrasound beam. However, when the target tissue is compressed by a transducer, lateral displacement of the scatte...
