Myocardial fibrosis is recognized as a physio-pathologic substrate of main cardiovascular syndromes such as myocardial infraction or heart failure. Knowing that fibrosis leads to increased myocardial stiffness, elastography techniques, such as shear wave imaging, has been showed to detect for the detection Fibrotic Tissue (FT) (Liver, arteries, …). However, its application on the heart still remain...
The elastic properties of human tissue can be evaluated through the study of mechanical wave propagation using highframe rate imaging and motion estimation. Methods such as block-matching or phase-based motion estimation are usually used to estimate the motion induced by the mechanical wave. These methods can be time consuming because of the processing involved and the need for specific types of averaging...
It is envisioned that tablet based ultrasound systems will be targeting non-expert users in the near future. However ultrasound is operator dependent and requires an extensive training process. The aim of this work is to provide visual guidance during scanning and as such improve the understanding of the anatomy that is currently being imaged.
