The elastic properties of human tissue can be evaluated through the study of mechanical
wave propagation using highframe rate imaging and motion estimation. Methods such as …

This paper proposes two novel iterative data-adaptive spectral estimation techniques for
blood velocity estimation using medical ultrasound scanners. The techniques make no …

Pulse wave imaging (PWI) is an ultrasound-based method to visualize the propagation of
pulse wave and to quantitatively estimate regional pulse wave velocity (PWV) of the arteries …

Ultrasound scanners can be used for displaying the distribution of velocities in blood vessels
by finding the power spectrum of the received signal. It is desired to show a B-mode image …

The carotid artery (CA) is central to cardiovascular research, because of the clinical
relevance of CA plaques as culprits of stroke and the accessibility of the CA for …

A novel ultrasound (US) system has been developed to make possible the real-time
assessment of both blood velocity profile and wall displacements in human arteries. The …

A system for acquisition of 3-D arterial ultrasound geometries and integration with
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is described. The 3-D ultrasound is based on freehand …

Handheld imaging of the tissue's speed-of-sound (SoS) is a promising multimodal addition
to diagnostic ultrasonography for the examination of tissue composition. Computed …

The goal of this work was to perform a segmentation of atherosclerotic plaques in view of
evaluating its burden and to provide boundaries for computing properties such as the …

In arterial vessel wall characterisation the longitudinal movements of vessels have gained
little or no attention. It has been presumed that the arterial vessels move very little in the …
