Ultrasound tissue displacement and tissue elasticity imaging

In this dissertation, we investigate the feasibility of using high frequency ultrasound, to measure tissue motion and tissue elasticity for medical imaging applications. Ultrasound provides a means for non-invasive imaging of soft tissues, providing soft tissue contrast that cannot be achieved using conventional X-ray or tomographic imaging.
