Abstract
Previous ultrasound speckle tracking methods have been extended, permi tting measurement of internal displacement and strain fields over a wi de dynamic range of tissue motion. The markedly increased dynamic rang e of this approach should lead to enhanced contrast resolution in stra in and elasticity images. Results of experiments on gelatin-based, tis sue equivalent phantoms show the capabilities of the method.
