In patients at high risk for ischemic stroke, clinical carotid ultrasound is often used to grade stenosis, determine plaque burden and assess stroke risk. Analysis currently requires a …
Even though the central role of mechanics in the cardiovascular system is widely recognized, estimating mechanical deformation and strains in-vivo remains an ongoing …
Background Noninvasive vascular strain imaging under conventional line‐by‐line scanning has a low frame rate and lateral resolution and depends on the coordinate system. It is thus …

Objectives Non-invasive methods for monitoring arterial health and identifying early injury to optimize treatment for patients are desirable. The objective of this study was to demonstrate …
Quantitative ultrasound has been used to assess carotid plaque tissue composition. Here, we compute the attenuation coefficient (AC) in vivo with the optimum power spectral shift …
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide with atherosclerosis being a major contributor. Risk factors for atherosclerosis are largely modifiable, thus identification …
