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 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 …

Transverse oscillation (TO) methods introduce oscillations in the pulse–echo field (PEF)
along the direction transverse to the ultrasound propagation direction. This may be exploited …

Purpose: Automatic measurement of the intima‐media thickness (IMT) from ultrasound
carotid images is an important task in clinical diagnosis. Many computer‐based techniques …

The longitudinal motion of the carotid wall during a heart cycle has a multiphasic waveform.
Recent studies have examined the amplitude of this motion. Instead of amplitude …

Current ultrasound methods for recognition and motion-tracking of arterial walls are suited
for image-based B-mode or M− mode scans but not adequately robust for single-line image …

This review focuses on ultrasound beamforming methods, a crucial step in the process of
ultrasound image formation. With the shift towards software-based receive beamforming in …

This paper shows the results of a preliminary study on the performance of new methods
based on ultrasonic images parametrization, to estimate the arterial wall movements used …

Background: This study aims to extract carotid wall vibrations non-invasively and evaluate
changes in the carotid artery caused by age, BMI, and sex. Such evaluation can increase the …

Early detection of cardiovascular diseases can be done by assessing the dynamic
properties of arteries. In this study, two phenomena related to the carotid wall motion are …
