The embodiment of the invention discloses an ultrasonic elastography method and ultrasonic imaging equipment. In the embodiment of the invention, ultrasonic imaging equipment can respectively obtain a first shear wave elasticity result and a first strain elasticity result of an external area of a focus in target tissue of a testee and obtain a second strain elasticity result of an internal area of the focus in the target tissue; a quantitative elasticity result for the internal region of the lesion is determined based on the first shear wave elasticity result, the first strain elasticity result, and the second strain elasticity result. The shear wave elasticity result and the strain elasticity result of the external region of the focus and the strain elasticity result of the internal region of the focus are accurate, so that the quantitative elasticity result of the internal region of the focus is calculated according to the results; compared with the method of directly measuring the shear wave elasticity of the internal area of the focus, the method has the advantages that the obtained result is more accurate, and the form and boundary of the focus can be presented more accurately.
