Figure 14

B-mode image (left), strain image without masking (middle), and strain image with masking (right) of the second uterine phantom from RF data acquired on the Antares at 9 MHz. The strain image was produced using the 2-D multilevel strain estimation technique with the uterine cavity masked out (right image) employing the second frame used to track the displacement. Extra care was taken to superimpose the scan plane on the TM polyp’s axis of symmetry and to make the beam axes of propagation parallel to that axis of symmetry. In this image 0% strain is black and 6% strain is white on the grayscale.
