Abstract

An elastographic imaging system providing for axial, lateral and elevational strain measurements employs a series of one-dimensional axial measurements to deduce a coarse axial, lateral and/or elevational displacement that is used to guide one or more, two- or three-dimensional cross-correlations of smaller kernels providing improved image resolution.
