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 …

Several recent technical advances in cardiac ultrasound allow data to be acquired at a very
high frame rate. Retrospective gating, plane/diverging wave imaging, and multiline transmit …

Visualization products computed from a raster elevation model still form the basis of most
archaeological and geomorphological enquiries of lidar data. We believe there is a need to …

Very high frame rate ultrasound imaging has recently allowed for the extension of the
applications of echography to new fields of study such as the functional imaging of the brain …

High-precision motion estimation has become essential in ultrasound-based techniques
such as time-domain Doppler and elastography. Normalized cross-correlation (NCC) has …

Up until about two decades ago acoustic imaging and ultrasound imaging were
synonymous. The term ultrasonography, or its abbreviated version sonography, meant an …

Purpose Echocardiography is a widely used modality for diagnosis of the heart. It enables
observation of the shape of the heart and estimation of global heart function based on B …

Noninvasive quantification of regional arterial stiffness, such as measurement of the pulse
wave velocity (PWV), has been shown to be of high clinical importance. Pulse wave imaging …

Background Arterial stiffening is recognized to be associated with increased cardiovascular
mortality and to be a major cause of several cardiovascular complications. Pulse wave …

Background: Increasing temporal resolution through numerical methods aids clinicians to
evaluate fast moving structures of the heart with more confidence. Methodology: In this …
