3-D B-mode volume (A), 3-D axial strain volume (B) and slices of the strain volume (C,D) of the soft inclusion embedded in the stiff phantom. The inclusion was not distinguishable on the B-mode volume due to the similar concentration of scatterers (A). However, the inclusion was distinguishable on the 3-D axial strain volume (B) as the absolute axial strain was high in the soft inclusion whereas it was low in the stiff phantom around. Slices of the 3-D axial strain volume are displayed in x-z plane (C) and in x-y plane (D) with the ROI.
