Myocardial tissue tracking imaging techniques have been developed for a more accurate
evaluation of myocardial deformation (ie strain), with the potential to overcome the …

Echocardiography (echo) is a critical tool in diagnosing various cardiovascular diseases.
Despite its diagnostic and prognostic value, interpretation and analysis of echo images are …

Deep learning can bring time savings and increased reproducibility to medical image
analysis. However, acquiring training data is challenging due to the time-intensive nature of …

Quantification of cardiac deformation and strain with 3D ultrasound takes considerable
research efforts. Nevertheless, a widespread use of these techniques in clinical practice is …

While there is significant literature available as research publications, limited reviews, and
book chapters, this is the first dedicated book on biomedical and biotechnological …

In this paper we present a compressed sensing (CS) method adapted to 3D ultrasound
imaging (US). In contrast to previous work, we propose a new approach based on the use of …

Deformation imaging by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and speckle-tracking
echocardiography (STE) are emerging clinical methods. TDI-and STE-derived parameters …

Collecting large databases of annotated medical images is crucial for the validation and
testing of feature extraction, statistical analysis, and machine learning algorithms. Recent …

The use of synthetic sequences is one of the most promising tools for advanced in silico
evaluation of the quantification of cardiac deformation and strain through 3-D ultrasound …

A plethora of techniques for cardiac deformation imaging with 3D ultrasound, typically
