The emergence of ultrafast frame rates in ultrasonic imaging has been recently made
possible by the development of new imaging modalities such as transient elastography …

This paper describes a new technique for two-dimensional (2-D) imaging of the motion
vector at a very high frame rate with ultrasound. Its potential is experimentally demonstrated …

In this paper, a new elastographic method is proposed. Using this method, the propagation
of a low-frequency transient shear wave can be imaged by means of an ultrafast imaging …

Noninvasive ultrafast imaging of intrinsic waves such as electromechanical waves or
remotely induced shear waves in elastography imaging techniques for human cardiac …

Ultrasonic pulse echo imaging in inhomogeneous media suffers from significant lateral and
contrast resolution losses due to the defocusing effects of the inhomogeneities. The losses …

Although the use of ultrasonic plane-wave transmissions rather than line-per-line focused
beam transmissions has been long studied in research, clinical application of this …

Ultrafast imaging using plane or diverging waves has recently enabled new ultrasound
imaging modes with improved sensitivity and very high frame rates. Some of these new …

In previous work, we have shown that time-resolved 2-D transient elastography is a
promising technique for characterizing the elasticity of soft tissues. It involves the …

Over the last ten years, shear wave elastography (SWE) has seen considerable
development and is now routinely used in clinics to provide mechanical characterization of …

This paper presents a method for optimizing parameters affecting the image quality in plane
wave imaging. More specifically, the number of emissions and steering angles is optimized …
