Deformability of ascending thoracic aorta aneurysms assessed using ultrafast ultrasound and a principal strain estimator: In vitro evaluation and in vivo feasibility
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 …
