The recently discovered longitudinal displacement of the common carotid arterial wall (ie,
the motion along the same plane as the blood flow), may be associated with incident …

The dynamics of the carotid artery wall has been recognized as a valuable indicator to
evaluate the status of atherosclerotic disease in the preclinical stage. However, it is still a …

In Multi-Line Transmission (MLT), high frame-rate ultrasound imaging is achieved by the
simultaneous transmission of multiple focused beams along different directions, which …

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 …

Intramural Shear Strain (ISS), the angular deformation of the arterial tissues within the depth
of the wall, can be assessed by estimating the wall longitudinal motion at different depth …

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 …

The longitudinal motion of the carotid wall is a potential new measure of arterial stiffness.
Despite the over decade long research on the subject, the driving force and the specific …

Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. The motion of arterial
tissues during the cardiac cycle is important as a mechanical deformation representing …

This work presents an original 2D motion estimation framework, applied to the carotid artery
in ultrasound B mode sequences. Our method is based on a specific block matching …

Abstract [eng] Atherosclerosis is a chronic and systemic vascular disease, which
progression and evolution is tremendously complex and rather unpredictable and the …
