Several recent technical advances in cardiac ultrasound allow data to be acquired at a very
high frame rate. Retrospective gating, plane/diverging wave imaging, and multiline transmit …

Shear wave elastography offers a new dimension to echocardiography: it measures
myocardial stiffness. Therefore, it could provide additional insights into the pathophysiology …

Commercially-available shear wave imaging systems measure group shear wave speed
(SWS) and often report stiffness parameters applying purely elastic material models. Soft …

Ultrasound elasticity imaging has been developed over the last decade to estimate tissue
stiffness. Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) quantifies tissue stiffness by measuring the …

Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor found to correlate with a wide range of
cardiovascular diseases. It has been suggested that shear wave elastography (SWE) can be …

Purpose To evaluate if cardiac magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can measure
increased stiffness in patients with cardiac amyloidosis. Myocardial tissue stiffness plays an …

2 D shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) is the latest evolution of elastography techniques
and allows real-time quantitative assessment of the medium stiffness. The aim of this review …

Left ventricular myocardial stiffness could offer superior quantification of cardiac systolic and
diastolic function when compared to the current diagnostic tools. Shear wave elastography …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography is emerging as an important imaging modality for
evaluating tissue material properties. In its practice, some systematic biases have been …

Transthoracic shear-wave elastography (SWE) of the myocardium remains very challenging
due to the poor quality of transthoracic ultrafast imaging and the presence of clutter noise …
