myocardial strain and strain rate imaging: comparison between doppler derived strain imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography

Regional asynchrony during acute myocardial ischemia quantified by ultrasound strain rate imaging.

OBJECTIVES We propose a new method to easily quantify asynchronous wall motion due to postsystolic shortening (PSS). We also studied the relationship of the spatial and temporal extent of PSS to the extent of myocardium at ischemic risk after variable duration of ischemia. BACKGROUND Postsystolic shortening is a sensitive marker of asynchrony during ischemia. Current techniques for detection ...

Tissue characterisation by ultrasound strain imaging

Real-Time Elastography (RTE) is a new imaging modality that monitors tissue strain during applied stress. The aim of this thesis was to validate if RTE was a reliable modality to reflect pathologically induced differences in elasticity or tissue hardness and to interrogate if assessment of elastic changes by RTE could be used as a diagnostic tool in clinical practice. Particularly, we focused o...
