Within medical imaging, ultrasound serves as a crucial tool, particularly in the realms of
brain imaging and disease diagnosis. It offers superior safety, speed, and wider applicability …

One of the current challenges in ultrasound imaging is achieving higher frame rates,
particularly in cardiac applications, where tracking the heart motion and other rapid events …

Major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with (regional) dysfunction of the left
ventricle. Despite the 3-D nature of the heart and its dynamics, the assessment of myocardial …

Ultrasound open platforms are programmable and flexible tools for the development and test
of novel methods. In most cases, they embed the electronics for the independent control of …

The potential of proton therapy to improve the conformity of the delivered dose to the tumor
volume is currently limited by range uncertainties. Injectable superheated nanodroplets …

Intraventricular vector flow mapping (i VFM) seeks to enhance and quantify color Doppler in
cardiac imaging. In this study, we propose novel alternatives to the traditional i VFM …

Ultrasound open scanners have recently boosted the development and validation of novel
imaging techniques. They are usually split into hardware-or software-oriented systems …

High-frame-rate (HFR) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) assesses myocardial
function by quantifying motion and deformation at high temporal resolution. Among the …

Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a clinical tool to noninvasively assess regional
myocardial function through the quantification of regional motion and deformation. Even if …

The multi-angle Doppler method was introduced for the estimation of velocity vectors by
measuring axial velocities from multiple directions. We have recently reported that the …
