Background Direct assessment of the coronary microcirculation has long been hampered by
the limited spatial and temporal resolutions of cardiac imaging modalities. Objectives The …

The left ventricular summit (LVS) is a triangular area located at the most superior portion of
the left epicardial ventricular region, surrounded by the two branches of the left coronary …

Dynamic Myocardial Ultrasound Localization Angiography (MULA) is an ultrasound-based
imaging modality destined to enhance the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of coronary …

The concept of ultrafast echocardiographic imaging has been around for decades. However,
only recent progress in ultrasound machine hardware and computer technology allowed to …

The emergence of data driven approaches such as Deep Learning has led to novel
application of various aspects of science and engineering. It has recently entered the field of …

Coronary microperfusion assessment is a key parameter for understanding cardiac function.
Currently, coronary ultrafast Doppler angiography is the only non-invasive clinical imaging …

Purpose Wall shear stress (WSS) is a critically important physical factor contributing to
atherosclerosis. Mapping the spatial distribution of local, oscillatory WSS can identify …

Ultrasound velocimetry has been widely used for blood flow imaging. However, the flow
measurements are constrained to resolve the in‐plane 2D flow components when using a …

Superharmonic contrast imaging (SpHI) suppresses tissue clutter and allows high-contrast
visualization of the vasculature. An array-based dual-frequency (DF) probe has been …

Tumor vasculatures lack the hierarchy and structure of healthy tissues thus vascular
morphology can be a useful indicator of the tumor evolution stages for lesion identification …
