Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial native T 1 mapping
allows assessment of interstitial diffuse fibrosis. In this technique, the global and regional T 1 …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an evolving real-time imaging modality that combines the
higher contrast of optical imaging with the higher spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging …

Strain evaluation is of major interest in clinical cardiology as it can quantify the cardiac
function. Myocardial elastography, a radio-frequency (RF)-based cross-correlation method …

Cardiac elastography (CE) is an ultrasound-based technique utilizing radio-frequency (RF)
signals for assessing global and regional myocardial function. In this work, a complete strain …

An adaptive Bayesian regularized cardiac strain imaging (ABR-CSI) algorithm for in vivo
murine myocardial function assessment is presented. We report on 31 BALB/CJ mice (n= 17 …

Cardiac strain imaging (CSI) plays a critical role in the detection of myocardial motion
abnormalities. Displacement estimation is an important processing step to ensure the …

Purpose Cardiotoxicity of antineoplastic therapies is increasingly a risk to cancer patients
treated with curative intent with years of life to protect. Studies highlight the importance of …

The anisotropic mechanical properties (mechanical anisotropy) and view-dependent
ultrasonic backscattering (acoustic anisotropy) of striated muscle due to the underlying …

Molecular imaging is promising for two main reasons. First, it enables human diseases to be
detected early, that is, before noticeable symptoms manifest. Second, it makes precision …

Abstract Harmonic Phase-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (HARP-MRI) is a tagged image
analysis method that can measure myocardial motion and strain in near real-time and is …
