Diagrams of ARFI prostate imaging in vivo. Both diagrams are in sagittal views, which are perpendicular to the imaging plane. (a) Experimental setup of ARFI imaging (the picture is taken from the NCI website(http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/prostate)). (b) Diagram of relative positions between the prostate and the imaging probe, and the elevational field of view (FOV, red filled area) of ARFI prostate imaging in vivo. The zonal structures, central zone (CZ), peripheral zone (PZ) and transitional zone (TZ) are labeled. To acquire 3D data, the ultrasound transducer rotates inside the probe along the direction pointed by the green arrows, whose angular range is 90°.
