Abstract

The aim of this work was to develop a convenient method for radial/circumferential strain imaging and shear rate estimation that could be used as a supplement to the current routine screening for carotid atherosclerosis using video images of diagnostic ultrasound. A reflection model-based correction for gray-scale non-uniform distribution was applied to B-mode video images before strain estimation to improve the accuracy of radial/circumferential strain imaging when applied to vessel transverse cross sections. The incremental and cumulative radial/circumferential strain images can then be calculated based on the displacement field between consecutive B-mode images. Finally, the transverse Doppler spectra acquired at different depths along the vessel diameter were used to construct the spatially matched instantaneous wall shear values in a cardiac cycle. Vessel phantom simulation results revealed that the signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio of the radial and circumferential strain images were increased by 2.8 and 5.9 dB and by 2.3 and 4.4 dB, respectively, after non-uniform correction. Preliminary results for 17 patients indicated that the accuracy of radial/circumferential strain images was improved in the lateral...Continue Reading
