A comparative analysis of processing periods for strain images generated using 1D spline based approach and 2D thin plate smoothing spline method

摘要

In the recent years strain imaging technique which is Elastography incepted a promising horizon of potentiality for detecting deep lying abnormal stiff nodules such as tumor, one of the primary symptoms of vulnerability towards cancer. Generating strain images applying two dimensional thin plate smoothing (TPS) spline based approach is definitely a superior method with its 1D counterpart considering several elastographic performance parameters (e.g., SNR
