The development of microbubble contrast agents has broadened the scope of medical
ultrasound imaging. Along with dedicated imaging techniques, these agents provide …

Row–column (RC) arrays have the potential to yield full 3-D ultrasound imaging with a
greatly reduced number of elements compared to fully populated arrays. They, however …

Ultrasound is the most widely used medical imaging modality worldwide. It is abundant,
extremely safe, portable, and inexpensive. In this review, we consider some of the current …

Velocity estimation in ultrasound imaging is a technique to measure the speed and direction
of blood flow. The flow velocity in small blood vessels, ie, arterioles, venules, and capillaries …

Synthetic aperture (SA) can be used for both anatomic and functional imaging, where tissue
motion and blood velocity are revealed. Often, sequences optimized for anatomic B-mode …

Wall shear stress (WSS) is considered as a key factor for atherosclerosis development.
Previous WSS research based on pulsed wave Doppler (PWD) showed limitations in …

V Flow is commercially developed by high-frame-rate ultrasound vector flow imaging.
Compared to conventional color Doppler, V Flow is angle-independent and is capable of …

Detective flow imaging endoscopic ultrasonography (DFI-EUS) provides a new method to
image and detect fine vessels and low-velocity blood flow without using ultrasound contrast …

Previous investigations have suggested that patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) often
have an atrial dysfunction, like to that observed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) which …

Atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid artery is the main cause of ischemic stroke, with a high
incidence rate among people over 65 years. A timely and precise diagnosis can help to …
