  Breast tissue displacements estimation in static ultrasound elastography, is a medical imaging technique which provides information on the local rigidity of tissues. Despite the fact that this technique has a major interest in clinical diagnosis, it suffers from increased deterioration due to the presence of speckle noise, artifacts and poor detail accuracy which appeared during the B-mode image acquisition process. Therefore, the application of Block Matching (BM) technique will greatly amplify the speckle noise and deteriorate the image quality. In this perspective, the implementation of an optimal technique is crucial for optimizing the quality of mammary displacements tissue. In this paper, we propose a new method based on the BM model that is to improve the old BM (OBM) technique. In this respect, an improvement of pre-processing step is satisfactory, in order to establish accura.. Read More»
