Based on wavelet transform of time-scale domain, a new strain estimation method is presented to position the regular scatterers, calculate the local scatterer spacing and its change, and estimate the internal strain distribution of tissue mimicking phantom. Simulation and experiment results for uniform and nonuniform phantoms show the internal strain of regularly spaced structures can be estimated accurately using this method and the influence of global boundary condition on the estimated strain distribution can be eliminated by reconstructing the real elasticity distribution. This approach has the potentials to become a valuable tool for the regularly spaced structures.
