In optical coherence elastography, images are formed by mapping a mechanical property of
tissue. Such images, known as elastograms, are formed on the microscale, intermediate …

Assessment of left ventricular systolic function has a central role in the evaluation of cardiac
disease. Accurate assessment is essential to guide management and prognosis. Numerous …

High-precision motion estimation has become essential in ultrasound-based techniques
such as time-domain Doppler and elastography. Normalized cross-correlation (NCC) has …

Aims Although the utility of two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE)
to quantify left ventricular (LV) volume has been demonstrated, this methodology is limited …

Over the past 3 decades, echocardiography has become a major diagnostic tool in the
arsenal of clinical cardiology for real-time imaging of cardiac dynamics. More and more …

Although 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography has been shown to be
useful in the assessment of regional left ventricular function, it is limited by the assumption …

Elastography is a new imaging modality where elastic tissue parameters related to the
structural organization of normal and pathological tissues are imaged. Basic principles …

Speckle‐tracking echocardiography (STE) is an advanced echocardiographic technique that
allows a novel approach to the assessment of cardiac physiology through the study of …

Background The aim of this study was to determine whether global strains derived from
three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) are as accurate as left …

Ultrasound elastography is an emerging set of imaging modalities used to image tissue
elasticity and are often referred to as virtual palpation. These techniques have proven …
