Abstract:
Sparse tracking is used in acoustic radiation force impulse imaging. The tracking is performed sparsely. The displacements are measured only one or a few times for each receive line. While this may result in insufficient information to determine the displacement phase shift and/or maximum displacement over time, the resulting displacement samples for different receive lines as a function of time may be used together to estimate the velocity, such as with a Radon transform. The estimation may be less susceptible to noise from the scarcity of displacement samples by using compressive sensing.

Claim (Index 12):
In a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for sparse tracking in acoustic radiation force impulse imaging, the storage medium comprising instructions for:\n measuring, using an ultrasound scanner, displacements in response to a single excitation pulse, the displacements measured at random locations over time; determining a velocity of a wave generated by the single excitation pulse from the displacements; and outputting the velocity.
