Abstract: A software package for ultrasound imaging in the form of an elastogram has been developed to measure stiffness of human tissue. A technique for obtaining elastograms is based on the least squares method and identification of feature points in images. The method can be used for clinical purposes when ultrasound machines have no elastogram display.

Keywords: elastography, ultrasound image, image processing, machine learning.
