Ultrasound 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.
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Sparse Smooth Speckle Shape Models for Motion Tracking in Medical Ultrasound
Emerging ultrasound phased-array technologies will soon enable the acquisition of high-resolution 3D+T images for medical applications. Processing the huge amount of spatiotemporal measurements remains a practical challenge. In this work, dynamic ultrasound images are sparsely represented by a mixture of moving speckles. We model the shape of a speckle and its locally linear motion with a weigh...
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 strain estimation of in vivo carotid artery plaque with in vitro sonomicrometry validation.
Our objective was to validate a previously developed speckle tracking (ST) algorithm to assess strain in common carotid artery plaques. Radial and longitudinal strain was measured in common carotid artery gel phantoms with a plaque-mimicking inclusion using an in-house ST algorithm and sonomicrometry. Moreover, plaque strain by ST for seven patients (77 ± 6 y) with carotid atherosclerosis was c...
متن کاملInfluence of ultrasound speckle tracking strategies for motion and strain estimation
Speckle Tracking is one of the most prominent techniques used to estimate the regional movement of the heart based on ultrasound acquisitions. Many different approaches have been proposed, proving their suitability to obtain quantitative and qualitative information regarding myocardial deformation, motion and function assessment. New proposals to improve the basic algorithm usually focus on one...
