Purpose The motion of the common carotid artery tissue layers along the vessel axis during
the cardiac cycle, observed in ultrasound imaging, is associated with the presence of …

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 …

Longitudinal kinetics (LOKI) of the arterial wall consists of the shearing motion of the intima–
media complex over the adventitia layer in the direction parallel to the blood flow during the …

This work introduces a novel user-independent method to estimate in vivo the two-
dimensional (2D), ie radial and longitudinal, trajectory of B-mode ultrasound (US) …

Purpose: Tracking the motion of biological tissues represents an important issue in the field
of medical ultrasound imaging. However, the longitudinal component of the motion (ie …

The motion of the carotid atheromatous plaque relative to the adjacent wall may be related
to the risk of cerebral events. A quantitative method for motion estimation was applied to …

Early detection of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is possible by assessing the dynamic
properties of the common carotid artery, ie the 2D (radial and longitudinal) motion of the wall …

We present here an enhancement of our Contour and Speckle Tracking (CST) method,
dedicated to assess the bi-dimensional (radial and longitudinal) movement of the common …

Motion of the carotid artery wall can be quantitatively estimated from sequences of B-mode
ultrasound images. Ultrasound scanner settings, including dynamic range and persistence …

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