    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Ultrasound Technology

    Background:

    • Quasi-static ultrasound (US) elastography generates axial strain elastograms (ASEs) from pre- and post-compression US signals.
    • ASE image quality is dependent on applied axial strain, with traditional methods pairing frames based on desired strain.
    • Real-time freehand compression poses challenges for traditional frame pairing in ultrasound elastography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a dynamic frame pairing method for real-time ultrasound elastography.
    • To improve elastogram quality and consistency during freehand compression.
    • To compare the performance of the dynamic method against traditional successive-frame pairing.

    Main Methods:

    • A one-prediction-one-correction method was developed to dynamically select pre- and post-compression frames based on applied axial strain.
    • Controlled compression experiments on phantoms were used for validation.
    • Performance was evaluated using contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRe) and frame-average axial strain (FAAS).

    Main Results:

    • The dynamic method consistently identified frame pairs yielding an applied axial strain of approximately 1%.
    • Dynamic frame pairing achieved a consistently high CNRe of around 20, irrespective of compression rate.
    • Traditional methods showed variable CNRe (5-25), while dynamic pairing yielded FAAS of 0.011 ± 0.001 in vivo.

    Conclusions:

    • The dynamic frame pairing method enhances ultrasound elastography by ensuring optimal axial strain for improved image quality.
    • This method offers superior and consistent contrast-to-noise ratio compared to traditional frame pairing techniques.
    • The dynamic approach is effective for real-time freehand compression, demonstrated in phantom and in vivo breast data.
