Abstract
Evaluation of internal displacement and strain distributions in tissue under externally applied forces is a necessary step in elasticity imaging. To obtain a quantitative image of the elastic modulus, strain and displacement fields must be measured with reasonable accuracy and inverted based on an accurate theoretical model of soft tissue mechanics. In this paper, results of measured internal strain and displacement fields from gel-based phantoms are compared with theoretical predictions of a linear elastic model. In addition, some aspects of elasticity reconstruction based on measured displacement and strain fields are discussed.< >Keywords
