Spatial angular compounding (SAC) has been developed to improve the performance of
lateral estimation. It is a promising method for cross-sectional carotid elastography to image …

Strain imaging can reveal the changes in tissue mechanical properties related to
pathological alterations by estimating tissue strains in the lateral and axial directions of …

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 …

Full-2D strain tensor estimation using non-invasive vascular elastography (NIVE) can be
difficult to achieve using conventional beamforming methods due to its low lateral resolution …

Stroke and myocardial infarction are initiated by rupturing vulnerable atherosclerotic
plaques. With noninvasive ultrasound elastography, these plaques might be detected in …

Synthetic aperture (SA) ultrasound imaging provides accurate axial and lateral displacement
estimates, however, the low transmit acoustic power of SA limits its clinical use. In this paper …

In quasi-static ultrasound elastography the breast tumor classification may be done by using
the rotation fill-in signature presents in the rotation elastogram, which is a marker of …

Purpose Vascular elastography can visualize the strain distribution in the carotid artery,
which could be useful in assessing the propensity of advanced plaques to rupture. In our …

Principal strain imaging could enhance the diagnostic performance of vascular
elastography, but conventional ultrasound system cannot measure lateral displacements …

Three-dimensional vascular strain estimation is crucial for assessment of the location of high
strain regions in the carotid artery. This study introduces a semi-3D radial strain imaging …
