摘要： 在超声弹性成像中，为了得到大压缩量下的精确应变估计，要考虑组织横向膨胀带来的横向位移的信号去相关影响，为此提出了结合二维压缩扩展和光流法的组织应变估计方法.首先采用二维希尔伯特变换法将原始超声RF信号通过包络检测的方法转换为解析信号，再利用块匹配算法得到16个子区域的位移矢量，然后利用线性回归方法从位移矢量估计出二维压缩扩展的参数.在完成二维压缩扩展之后，再利用光流法对微小位移进行精确估计.实验结果表明，二维压缩扩展方法和光流法的结合增加了总体应变估计的精度与鲁棒性.所得纵向位移和纵向应变与有限元仿真结果基本一致，证明了所提算法的正确性.

Abstract: In order to get accurate strain estimation in ultrasound elastography， it is important to eliminate the decorrelation caused by the lateral displacement of the longitudinal compression. A new strain estimation method was proposed by combining the twodimensional companding and optical flow method. First， the twodimensional Hibert transformation was used to convert the original ultrasound RF signals to the analytical signals by the envelop detection. Then， the block matching method was used to get the motion vectors of 16 subblocks. Based on the motion vectors， a linear regression method was used to estimate the parameters of the twodimensional companding. After the twodimensional companding， the optical flow method was employed to estimate the subpixel motion. Experimental results showed that the overall strain estimation accuracy and robustness could be enhanced by the proposed twodimensional companding methods. The longitudinal displacement and longitudinal strain obtained by the proposed method were basically consistent with those obtained by the finite element simulation， which proved the correctness of the new method.
