Static ultrasonic breast elastography is a medical imaging technique that produces information related to the elastic properties of breast tissue. However, the image quality in breast elastography is considerably altered by the diffusion of speckle noise in the breast texture leading to disrupt the medical diagnosis. In this perspective, the implementation of a technique for optimizing the tissue displacements estimation is crucial. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a new method based on the monogenic model, in order to improve the Classical Monogenic Signal (CMS) technique by improving the filtering process, in this context, a filtering step has been applied to the B-mode images and then the filtered B-mode images were integrated into a monogenic model to estimate displacements.
