Open platform (OP) ultrasound systems are aimed primarily at the research community. They
have been at the forefront of the development of synthetic aperture, plane wave, shear wave …

The experimental test of novel ultrasound (US) investigation methods can be made difficult
by the lack of flexibility of commercial US machines. In the best options, these only provide …

The rheology of cement grout is complex due to its thixotropic nature and the presence of a
yield stress. Despite the importance of the yield stress for grouting design, no standard …

The rheology of a fluid flowing in an industrial process pipe can be calculated by combining
the pressure drop and the velocity profile that the fluid develops across the tube diameter …

The lack of open access to the pre-beamformed data of an ultrasound scanner has limited
the research of novel imaging methods to a few privileged laboratories. To address this …

A novel technique has been developed for the noninvasive real-time simultaneous
assessment of both blood velocity profile and wall displacements in human arteries. The …

Medical ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) have evolved from straight image enhancers to
pathophysiological markers and drug delivery vehicles. However, the exact dynamic …

The signal backscattered by blood cells crossing a sample volume produces a Doppler
power spectrum determined by the scatterers' velocity distribution. Because of intrinsic …

Industrial applications involving pulsed ultrasound instrumentation require complete non-
invasive setups due to high temperatures, pressures and possible abrasive fluids. Recently …

In rock grouting, idealized 2D-radial laminar flow of yield stress fluids (YSF) is a fundamental
flow configuration that is used for cement grout spread estimation. A limited amount of works …
