چکیده
The non-invasive assessment of regional myocardial function is an important goal in clinical cardiology. To this extent, strain rate imaging has been introduced. Current strain rate methodology has been validated and has been shown to be clinically applicable. However, it is associated with some intrinsic limitations. This paper discusses some new approaches towards ultrasonic strain rate estimation based on a discussion of the current implementation of strain rate imaging.

Characterization Of Individual Submicron Perfluorocarbon Gas Bubbles By Ultrasonic Backscatter
Measurements were undertaken to determine the unknown microbubble-size distribution of a dodecafluoropentane (DDFP) emulsion consisting of 10 droplets/ml in surfactant-stabilized water. The acoustic backscatter of 2-microsecond-duration tonebursts of 30-MHz focused ultrasound was measured from the emulsion as it moved in a coaxial flow. Calibration for the system was accomplished using 3-mm-rad...
متن کاملFabrication of NaYF4:Yb,Er Nanoprobes for Cell Imaging Directly by Using the Method of Hydrion Rivalry Aided by Ultrasonic
A novel method of fabricating water-soluble bio-probes with ultra-small size such as NaYF4:Yb,Er (18 nm), NaGdF4:Yb,Er (8 nm), CaF2:Yb,Er (10 nm), PbS (7 nm), and ZnS (12 nm) has been developed to provide for the solubility switch of nanoparticles from oil-soluble to water-soluble in terms of hydrion rivalry aided by ultrasonic. Using NaYF4:Yb,Er (18 nm) as an example, we evaluate the propertie...
متن کاملResolution of scanning ultrasonic imaging systems with arbitrary transducer excitation
2014 An analytical formulation is presented which predicts the imaging performance of broadband ultrasonic imaging systems. The effect of frequency dependent attenuation on image resolution is analysed. Examples of the case of a narrow RF pulse and a wideband FM chirp pulse excitation are presented. It is shown that as far as the imaging resolution is concerned it is possible to make a very goo...
متن کاملStriving towards the ideal cardiac functional assessment strategy: the contribution of tissue Doppler, strain and strain rate imaging
In cardiac research, a major goal of prevention of catastrophic events by risk-factor management and earlier detection has, in recent years, led to a proliferation of imaging modalities, moving us from old-fashioned chest X-ray through increasingly sophisticated approaches such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multi-slice fast computer-aided tomography (CT) scanning. Today, we have the o...
متن کاملPhased array ultrasonic imaging using an improved beamforming based total focusing method for non destructive test
One of the novel ultrasonic phased array based scanning methods for ultrasonic imaging in non-destructive test is total focusing method (TFM). This method employs maximum available information of the phased array elements and leads to an improved defect detection accuracy compared to conventional scanning methods. Despite its high detection accuracy, TFM behaves weak in distinguishing the real ...
