1. A method for quantification of strain imaging comprising:

  • (a) performing a motion analysis for tissue strain quantification on at least two selected regions of interest (ROI) before and after tissue compression;

    (b) providing a strain estimate for each of said at least two ROIs based upon said motion analysis;

    (c) comparing said strain estimates of each of said at least two ROIs to quantify strain for the at least two ROIs; and

    wherein said performing comprises;

    (a1) generating a plurality of blocks for each of said at least two ROIs; and

    (a2) utilizing a block matching technique to perform a motion analysis on each of said at least two ROIs.
