Abstract
Tissue strain imaging is a new technology for imaging hardness information using ultrasound, and it is being used diagnosing breast cancer etc. However, the method currently used often induces errors in poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) such as low-echo areas. Therefore, this paper proposes a that can robustly estimate a strain distribution in poor areas. In order to use the adaptive dynamic grid (ADGI) model with a correlation coefficient in the method, errors in the poor SNR areas are corrected and high spatial resolution is maintained in the good SNR area.
