Given the complexity of human left heart anatomy and valvular structures, the fluid–structure
interaction (FSI) simulation of native and prosthetic valves poses a significant challenge for …

Medical ultrasound imaging requires recurring use of elementary principles, namely, the
choice of the transducer, the design of the emitted waves and their wavefronts (eg focused …

Vector flow techniques in the field of ultrasound encompass different pulse emission and
estimation strategies. Numerous techniques have been introduced over the years, and …

Ultrafast Doppler has been accepted as a novel modality for small vasculature imaging with
high sensitivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, and high penetration. However, the …

This study examines the feasibility of blood speckle tracking for vector flow imaging in
healthy adults and describes the physiologic flow pattern and vortex formation in relation to …

Left ventricular (LV) blood flow is an inherently complex time-varying 3-D phenomenon,
where 2-D quantification often ignores the effect of out-of-plane motion. In this study, we …

Color Doppler echocardiography is a widely used noninvasive imaging modality that
provides real-time information about intracardiac blood flow. In an apical long-axis view of …

We propose a regularized least-squares method for reconstructing 2D velocity vector fields
within the left ventricular cavity from single-view color Doppler echocardiographic images …

In recent years, diverging wave (DW) ultrasound imaging has become a very promising
methodology for cardiovascular imaging due to its high temporal resolution. However, if they …

Cardioembolic stroke is one of the most devastating complications of nonischemic dilated
cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). However, in clinical trials of primary prevention, the benefits of …
