Native tissue second harmonic imaging improves endocardial and epicardial border definition in dobutamine stress echocardiography.
AIMS Native tissue second harmonic imaging (SHI) implemented in two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography was found to improve left ventricular (LV) endocardial border delineation. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) depends on the ability to adequately visualize these borders. We analysed whether SHI, compared to fundamental imaging (FI), can improve echogenicity qualitatively and quantitativ...
متن کاملTissue harmonic imaging
Harmonics have much significance in music. A musical note has three characteristics. 1 Pitch (or frequency) 2 Loudness 3 Quality (or tone). Quality is the audible difference heard between two musical notes of the same pitch and loudness. Hence, a piano based C-note does not sound the same as a C-note played on a guitar, due to the existence of harmonic frequencies. The same note from various in...
متن کاملComparing differential tissue harmonic imaging with tissue harmonic and fundamental gray scale imaging of the liver.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare fundamental gray scale sonography, tissue harmonic imaging (THI), and differential tissue harmonic imaging (DTHI) for depicting normal and abnormal livers. METHODS The in vitro lateral resolution of DTHI, THI, and sonography was assessed in a phantom. Sagittal and transverse images of right and left hepatic lobes of 5 volunteers and 20 patien...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional ultrasonic tissue characterization: backscatter power, endocardial wall motion, and their phase relationship for normal, ischemic, and infarcted myocardium.
To understand the possible differences in reflected ultrasonic energy from normal, ischemic, and infarcted myocardium, we studied 20 open-chest dogs with a commercially available two-dimensional ultrasonic scanner. Echocardiographic radiofrequency images of anterior myocardium were obtained serially during complete coronary occlusion for 2 hr (n = 15) or 5 hr (n = 10), or after temporary corona...
متن کاملHarmonic Motion Imaging (HMI) for Tumor Imaging and Treatment Monitoring.
Palpation is an established screening procedure for the detection of several superficial cancers including breast, thyroid, prostate, and liver tumors through both self and clinical examinations. This is because solid masses typically have distinct stiffnesses compared to the surrounding normal tissue. In this paper, the application of Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI) for tumor detection based on ...
