Although the use of ultrasonic plane-wave transmissions rather than line-per-line focused
beam transmissions has been long studied in research, clinical application of this …

Ultrasonic colour Doppler is an imaging technique that combines anatomical information
derived using ultrasonic pulse-echo techniques with velocity information derived using …

Very high frame rate ultrasound imaging has recently allowed for the extension of the
applications of echography to new fields of study such as the functional imaging of the brain …

Doppler-based flow analysis methods require acquisition of ultrasound data at high spatio-
temporal sampling rates. These rates represent a major technical challenge for ultrasound …

Open platform (OP) ultrasound systems are aimed primarily at the research community. They
