Preliminary in vivo atherosclerotic carotid plaque characterization using strain indices
In this paper, we explore two parameters or strain indices related to plaque deformation during the cardiac cycle, namely, the maximum accumulated axial strain in plaque and the relative lateral shifts between plaque and vessel wall under in vivo clinical ultrasound imaging conditions for possible identification of vulnerable plaque. These strain indices enable differentiation between calcified...
متن کاملRelationship between ultrasonic attenuation, size and axial strain parameters for ex vivo atherosclerotic carotid plaque.
Many ultrasonic parameters, primarily related to attenuation and scatterer size, have been used to characterize the composition of atherosclerotic plaque tissue. In this study, we combine elastographic (axial strain ratio) and ultrasonic tissue characterization parameters, namely the attenuation coefficient and a scattering parameter associated with an "equivalent" scatterer size to delineate b...

Statistical Analysis of a Three-dimensional Axial Strain and Axial-shear Strain Elastography Algorithm. (August 2011) Mohan Li, B.S., University of Science and Technology of China Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Raffaella Righetti Pathological phenomena often change the mechanical properties of the tissue. Therefore, estimation of tissue mechanical properties can be of clinical importance. Ult...
متن کاملEffect of axial tibial torque direction on ACL relative strain and strain rate in an in vitro simulated pivot landing.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries most frequently occur under the large loads associated with a unipedal jump landing involving a cutting or pivoting maneuver. We tested the hypotheses that internal tibial torque would increase the anteromedial (AM) bundle ACL relative strain and strain rate more than would the corresponding external tibial torque under the large impulsive loads associa...
متن کاملElement Level Parametric Identification Using Axial Macro-Strain Time Series
The increasing use of advanced sensing technologies for strain measurements necessitates the development of strain-based identification methodologies. In this study, a three-step neural network strategy, called direct soft parametric identification (DSPI), is presented to identify the member stiffness and damping parameters of a truss structure directly from free vibration-induced strains. The ...
