Local pulse wave velocity (PWV) is evolving as one of the important determinants of arterial
hemodynamics, localized vessel stiffening associated with several pathologies, and a host …

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 …

Ultrafast ultrasound is an emerging modality that offers new perspectives and opportunities
in medical imaging. Plane wave imaging (PWI) allows one to attain very high frame rates by …

Microbubbles (MBs) were observed for the first time in vivo as a curious consequence of
quick saline injection during ultrasound (US) imaging of the aortic root, more than 50 years …

The default mode network (DMN) has been defined in functional brain imaging studies as a
set of highly connected brain areas, which are active during wakeful rest and inactivated …

Computed ultrasound tomography in echo mode (CUTE) allows determining the spatial
distribution of speed-of-sound (SoS) inside tissue using handheld pulse-echo ultrasound …

The central nervous system (CNS) controls skeletal muscles by the recruitment of motor
units (MUs). Understanding MU function is critical in the diagnosis of neuromuscular …

Improving the frame rate is an important aspect in medical ultrasound imaging, particularly in
3D/4D cardiac applications. However, an accurate trade-off between the higher frame rate …

Plane-wave imaging (PWI) is an interesting technique for increasing frame rate in medical
ultrasound imaging, but it suffers from poor image quality. To overcome this problem, the …
