This paper introduces a novel classification strategy based on the monogenic scale space
for target recognition in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image. The proposed method …

Deformation imaging in echocardiography has been shown to have better diagnostic and
prognostic value than conventional anatomical measures such as ejection fraction …

Quantification of cardiac deformation and strain with 3D ultrasound takes considerable
research efforts. Nevertheless, a widespread use of these techniques in clinical practice is …

Motion estimation in echocardiography plays an important role in the characterization of
cardiac function, allowing the computation of myocardial deformation indices. However …

Registration of images in the presence of intra-image signal fluctuations is a challenging
task. The definition of an appropriate objective function measuring the similarity between the …

The estimation of cardiovascular tissue motion from ultrasound images is a task of
considerable importance but has remained difficult in clinical practice, mainly due to the …

Modern medical imaging techniques, such as ultrasound (US) and cardiac magnetic
