A method and system for quantification of strain imaging is disclosed. The method
and system comprises performing a motion analysis on the at least two regions of
interest. The method and system further includes providing a strain estimate for
each of the at least two regions of interest and comparing the strain estimates
of each of the at least two regions to quantify the strain for the at least two
regions of interest. A system and method in accordance with the present invention
provides for strain quantification based on conventional B-mode images. Using this
technique, the strain of regions of interest (ROI) defined by users can be determined
and quantitative comparisons can be effectively made in real time. The strain quantification
can be used to determine tissue's properties and can potentially be applied in
breast imaging as well as cardiac imaging.
