Tissue Doppler imaging of carotid plaque wall motion: a pilot study
BACKGROUND Studies suggest the physical and mechanical properties of vessel walls and plaque may be of clinical value in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the potential clinical application of ultrasound Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) of Arterial Wall Motion (AWM) and to quantify simple wall motion indices in ...
متن کاملWall shear stress as a stimulus for intra-plaque hemorrhage in carotid atherosclerotic plaque: An MRI-based CFD pilot study
Motivation Cells present in the arterial vessel wall respond to sustained altered values of hemodynamic forces modifying their structure and function at the cellular, molecular, and genetic levels to return these forces to their physiological values. However, under certain circumstances, this response may lead to pathologies, such as atherosclerosis. Recent studies have suggested that endotheli...
متن کاملDoppler tissue imaging quantitates regional wall motion during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion.
BACKGROUND Quantification of regional myocardial function is a major unresolved issue in cardiology. We evaluated the accuracy of pulsed Doppler tissue imaging (DTI), a new echocardiographic technique, to quantify regional myocardial dysfunction induced by acute ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS In nine open-chest anesthetized pigs, various degrees of regional wall motion abnormal...
متن کاملDetection of Unstable Carotid Plaque by Tissue Doppler Imaging and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in a Patient with Recurrent Amaurosis Fugax
Ultrasound (US) is one of the most important diagnostic tools available for the detection and evaluation of carotid stenosis. The case of a 70-year-old woman with recurrent right-sided amaurosis fugax presented here highlights the way in which tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) may aid in the diagnosis of carotid plaque vulnerability. Furthermore, the novel inverse fly...
متن کاملCardiac wall tracking using Doppler tissue imaging (DTI)
Doppler Tissue Imaging (DTI) is a new technique that provides an image information on values of intramy-ocardial wall velocity. This speciic capability makes easier the automatic myocardial boundary extraction and tracking task. We apply a variation on active contour models to an M-Mode Ultrasound image. This is in fact an image made from a time sequence of digitized 1D images. To the feature e...
