  Breast ultrasound elastography allows acquiring a displacements estimation images that reflects the tissue elasticity of the area under ultrasound examination. The displacements analysis of the mammary tissues helps to provide an accurate diagnosis related to tissue stiffness evaluation. However; despite the fact that this imaging modality is promising and effective, it encounters a major problem, B-mode images are altered by speckle noise which comes from the difference in echogenicity of the imaged tissues, which deteriorates the diagnostic information, therefore, an application of displacements estimation methods on contaminated B-mode images, amplifies indirectly the speckle noise, causing a reduction of clinical evaluation capacity and prevention of rigorous clinical assessment. In this perspective, the development of tools for treating this problem is crucial and indispensable f.. Read More»
