In contrast to other ultrasound-based strain imaging techniques, Myocardial Elastography (ME), developed by our group, is an ultrasound radio-frequency (RF)-based speckle tracking technique that aims at estimating and mapping transmural displacements and angle-independent strains in full echocardiographic views at high precision and high spatial and temporal resolution. ME has previously been evaluated...
Two-dimensional (2-D) myocardial elastography is a radio-frequency (RF)-based speckle tracking technique that uses one-dimensional (1-D) cross-correlation and recorrelation methods in a 2-D search, and can estimate and image the 2-D transmural motion and deformation of the myocardium so as to characterize the cardiac function. Based on a three-dimensional (3-D) finite-element (FE) canine left-ventricular...
Echocardiography is the most prevalent imaging modalities in clinical cardiology. However, current diagnostic techniques rely on qualitative image analysis, ignoring the quantitative data inherent to this modality. We seek to develop a quantitative system for analyzing echocardiographic images. In this study, the performance of myocardial elastography was tested under motion-induced decorrelation...
In this paper, the requirement and optimization of the frame rate for myocardial elastography was investigated in normal mice and humans in vivo. Using a retrospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating technique, the highest frame rate was 8 kHz and 481 Hz, respectively. Axial displacement and strain of myocardium were estimated using an RF speckle tracking method consisting of a 1-D kernel in a 2-D...
In this paper, myocardial elastography (ME), a radio-frequency (RF) based speckle tracking technique, was employed in order to assess the contractility of a myocardium, and validated against tagged magnetic resonance imaging (tMRI) in vivo in normal as well as abnormal cases. Both RF ultrasound and tMRI frames were acquired in 2D short-axis (SA) views from two healthy subjects and one with a history...
Myocardial elastography (ME), a radio frequency (RF)-based speckle tracking technique with one-dimensional (1-D) cross correlation and novel recorrelation methods in a 2-D search was proposed to estimate and fully image 2-1) transmural deformation field and to detect abnormal cardiac function. A theoretical framework was first developed in order to evaluate the performance of 2-D myocardial elastography...
In this paper, we investigate the elevational beamwidth and the extent of 3D decorrelation on 3D motion estimation of multiple short-axis slices under a previously established theoretical framework, which simulated two sequences, including passive filling and active contraction, in normal and ischemic canine finite-element (FE) left ventricular models. A 3D convolutional image formation model was...
