Estimation of Plaque Contents With Multi-Angle 3D Compound Imaging
This investigation exploits the potential of using multiple insonification angles in characterizing plaques in the carotid artery. Specifically, previous work h a s shown that certain plaque materials such as lipid exhibit a low degree of angle-dependence in the received echo signal while the signal varies much more with angle forfibrous tissues. system h a s been established with a 10 MHz focu...
متن کاملAssessing the intima-media thickness and Young modulus changes of the common carotid artery in the neck region external radiotherapy based on the processing of ultrasonic images
Since it is too vital to the prevention of carotid disease in the vascular system, it seems necessary to the estimation of the elastic behavior of the carotid artery in head and neck external radiotherapy. In the present study, a total of 24 neck carcinoma patients treated with external radiotherapy had been studied. The carotid mean dose values were determined for each case by contouring the c...
متن کاملApplication of Model-Based Estimation to Time-Delay Estimation of Ultrasonic Testing Signals
Time-Delay-Estimation (TDE) has been a topic of interest in many applications in the past few decades. The emphasis of this work is on the application of model-based estimation (MBE) for TDE of ultrasonic signals used in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ultrasonic thickness gaging is based on precise measurement of the time difference between successive echoes which reflect back from the back wall ...

thickness and corrosion/erosion rate. In this thesis, a combination of signal processing techniques are used to estimate the corrosion rate estimates based on MBE. Corrosion rate is estimated based on ultrasonic pipe wall thickness data is collected over a short period of time using MBE model. This technique is based on data collected from the speedometer applied for thinning and both indicate ...
متن کاملStructure of plaque at carotid bifurcation: high-resolution MRI with histological correlation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The composition of carotid atherosclerosis was visualized by using 3D MRI at high resolution with 200-micrometer (3) voxels. Magnetic resonance signal characteristics were correlated with plaque components, including collagenous cap, necrotic core, and calcification, to define resolution and other requirements for future clinical carotid MRI. METHODS Twenty-one en bloc ...
