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

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 …

Ultrasound imaging has been extensively used for determining the severity of carotid
atherosclerotic stenosis. In particular, the morphological characterization of carotid plaques …

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 …

The CAROLAB software platform is introduced to analyze B-mode ultrasound image
sequences of the carotid artery. The main objective of CAROLAB is to enable automatic …

In order to study longitudinal movement and intramural shearing of the arterial wall with a
Lagrangian viewpoint using ultrafast ultrasound imaging, a new tracking scheme is required …

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) …

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 …

A fast 2D motion estimator has been developed and evaluated. The method does not utilize
block-matching or iterative solutions and is thus more computationally efficient and suitable …
