It is known that changes in the mechanical properties of tissues are associated with the
onset and progression of certain diseases. Ultrasound elastography is a technique to …

Ultrasound elastography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that maps
viscoelastic properties to characterize tissues and diseases. Elastography can be divided …

As the complexity of ultrasound signal processing algorithms increases, it becomes more
difficult to demonstrate their added value and thus robust validation strategies are required …

Ultrasound vascular strain imaging has shown its potential to interrogate the motion of the
vessel wall induced by the cardiac pulsation for predicting plaque instability. In this study, a …

Recently, we realized a prototype matrix transducer consisting of 48 rows of 80 elements on
top of a tiled set of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) implementing a row-level …

Background Radiotherapy to tumors in the abdomen is challenging because of the
significant organ movement and tissue deformation caused by respiration. Purpose A motion …

Ultrasound (US) speckles are granular patterns which can impede image post-processing
tasks, such as image segmentation and registration. Conventional filtering approaches are …

Objectives The risk of cardiovascular disease is associated with the echo intensity of carotid
plaques in ultrasound images and their cardiac cycle‐induced intensity variations. In this …

Ultrasound elastography is a novel approach of evaluating regional myocardial systolic
function and detecting infarcted area. This study aims to evaluate the radial motion of …

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound
(CEUS) combined with 2-D strain imaging in evaluating carotid plaque vulnerability and the …
