Fig. 3.

Montage of radial strain elastograms, displayed in percentage, obtained from simulated vessels with modulus contrasts of (a) $-12.04\mathrm{dB}$, (b) $-6.02\mathrm{dB}$, and (c) $-2.5\mathrm{dB}$. Ideal strain elastograms are shown in the first column of each montage, and the elastograms obtained from vessel phantoms with attenuation coefficients of 0.6, 1, and $3.5\mathrm{dB}/\mathrm{cm}$ are shown in the remaining columns.
