Abstract Objective Ultrasound Lagrangian carotid strain imaging (LCSI) utilizes
physiological deformation caused by arterial pressure variations to generate strain tensor …

In this paper, a 2-D vector flow imaging (VFI) method developed by combining synthetic
aperture sequential beamforming and directional transverse oscillation is used to image a …

Carotid strain imaging in 3D is not possible with conventional focused imaging, because the
frame rate is too low. Plane wave ultrasound provides sufficiently high frame rates, albeit at …

Three-dimensional vascular strain estimation is crucial for assessment of the location of high
strain regions in the carotid artery (CA) and the identification of vulnerable plaque features …

Arteriosclerosis results from lipid buildup in artery walls, leading to plaque formation, and is
a leading cause of death. Plaque rupture can cause blood clots that might lead to a stroke …

Ultrasound based estimation of arterial wall properties is commonly used to assess vessel
wall stiffness in studies of vascular diseases. Recently, it was shown that the longitudinal …

Methods: CS theory suggests that if any signal of interest has underlying structure which
renders the data compressible in some appropriate transform domain then even in the …
