In recent years, the role of arterial stiffness in the development of cardiovascular diseases
has been explored more extensively. Local arterial stiffness may be gauged via ultrasound …

Motion extracted from the carotid artery wall provides unique information for vascular health
evaluation. Carotid artery longitudinal wall motion corresponds to the multiphasic arterial …

The motion of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall has been established to be useful in
early diagnosis of atherosclerotic disease. However, tracking the CCA wall motion from …

The recently discovered longitudinal displacement of the common carotid arterial wall (ie,
the motion along the same plane as the blood flow), may be associated with incident …

Ultrafast ultrasound is a promising imaging modality that enabled, inter alia, the
development of pulse wave imaging and the local velocity estimation of the so-called pulse …

Motion of the carotid artery wall is important for the quantification of arterial elasticity and
contractility and can be estimated with a number of techniques. In this paper, a framework for …

We aim at investigating arterial diseases at early stage, by assessing the longitudinal (ie in
the same direction as the blood flow) motion of the intima-media complex. This recently …

Stroke is a serious and frequent cerebrovascular disease with an enormous socioeconomic
burden worldwide. Stroke prevention includes treatment of carotid atherosclerosis, the most …

Longitudinal motion of the intima–media and adventitia layers of the common carotid artery
(CCA) wall were assessed with ultrasound speckle tracking in seven individuals with spinal …

The effects of catecholamines on longitudinal displacements and intramural shear strain of
the arterial wall are unexplored. Therefore, the common carotid artery of five anaesthetized …
