Speckle Tracking and Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Amyloidosis is a disease caused by deposits of insoluble fibrils in extracellular spaces. The most common type of familial amyloidosis is mediated by mutation of transthyretin, especially Val30Met. Symptoms and ejection fraction decrease may occur in cardiac amyloidosis only in case of poor prognosis. Myocardial strain detected by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography can...
متن کاملInformation Measures via Copula Functions
In applications of differential geometry to problems of parametric inference, the notion of divergence is often used to measure the separation between two parametric densities. Among them, in this paper, we will verify measures such as Kullback-Leibler information, J-divergence, Hellinger distance, -Divergence, … and so on. Properties and results related to distance between probability d...
متن کاملCardiac Mechanics Evaluated by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Natural myocardial markers, or speckles, originated from constructive and destructive interference of ultrasound in the tissues may provide early diagnosis of myocardial changes and be used in the prediction of some cardiac events. Due to its relatively temporal stability, speckles can be tracked by dedicated software along the cardiac cycle, enabling the analysis of the systolic and diastolic ...
متن کاملSpeckle tracking for multi-dimensional flow estimation.
Speckle tracking methods overcome the major limitations of current Doppler methods for flow imaging and quantification: angle dependence and aliasing. In this paper, we review the development of speckle tracking, with particular attention to the advantages and limitations of two-dimensional algorithms that use a single transducer aperture. Ensemble tracking, a recent speckle tracking method bas...
متن کاملUltrasound Speckle Tracking For Strain Estimation
This paper presents an alternative to Elastography by speckle tracking ultrasonic frames quantifying both motion and strain. We combine two similarity measures for varying echographic content including displacement processing, with interframe and trajectory performance measured on extensive synthetic and in vitro data.
