    ABSTRACT: An image registration-based elastography algorithm is presented for assessing the stiffness of tissue regions inside the prostate for the purpose of detecting tumors. A 3D finite-element model of the prostate is built from ultrasound images and used to simulate the deformation of the prostate induced by a TRUS probe. To reconstruct the stiffness of tissues, their Young's moduli are varied using Powell's method so that the mutual information between a simulated and deformed image volume is maximized. The algorithm was validated using a gelatin prostate phantom embedded with a cylindrical inclusion that simulated a tumor. Results from the phantom study showed that the technique could detect the increased stiffness of the simulated tumor with a reasonable accuracy.

    ABSTRACT: This paper is the first report on the monitoring of tissue ablation using ultrasound RF echo time series. We calcuate frequency and time domain features of time series of RF echoes from stationary tissue and transducer, and correlate them with ablated and non-ablated tissue properties. We combine these features in a nonlinear classification framework and demonstrate up to 99% classification accuracy in distinguishing ablated and non-ablated regions of tissue, in areas as small as 12mm2 in size. We also demonstrate significant improvement of ablated tissue classification using RF time series compared to the conventional approach of using single RF scan lines. The results of this study suggest RF echo time series as a promising approach for monitoring ablation, and capturing the changes in the tissue microstructure as a result of heat-induced necrosis.
