Left ventricular myocardial stiffness could offer superior quantification of cardiac systolic and
diastolic function when compared to the current diagnostic tools. Shear wave elastography …

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging provides great opportunities for very high frame rate
applications, such as shear wave elastography and microvascular imaging. However …

Plane wave imaging has been proven to provide transmit beams with a narrow and uniform
beam width throughout the imaging depth. The transmit beam pattern, however, exhibits …

Golay coded excitation for diverging wave compounding (DWC) has been demonstrated to
increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast for high frame rate cardiac imaging …

Synthetic transmit focusing (STF) methods using unfocused waves or plane waves (PWs)
have recently been investigated extensively. However, STF using PWs with a convex array …

Coherent compounding methods using the full or partial transmit aperture have been
investigated as a possible means of increasing strain measurement accuracy in cardiac …

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging allows observing rapid phenomena; combined with 3-D
imaging it has the potential to provide a more accurate analysis of organs which leads, in the …

In the present study, chirp coded pulses are investigated with respect to high frequency
imaging. These pulses were used drive broadband polymer transducers assembled from an …

Three-dimensional plane wave imaging (PWI) with a 2-D array has been studied for ultrafast
volumetric imaging in medical ultrasound. Compared to 2-D PWI, 3-D PWI requires the …

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging enables the visualization of rapidly changing blood flow
dynamics in the chambers of the heart. Singular value decomposition (SVD) filters …
