An Open-Source Radon-Transform Shear Wave Speed Estimator with Masking Functionality to Isolate Different Shear-Wave Modes

Conference IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium Ius · January 1, 2022 The Radon Transform (RT) approach is a common method used to estimate shear wave trajectory and speed in ultrasound shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI). The RT calculates the sum of 2D spatiotemporal data amplitude under each potential linear trajectory t ... Full text Cite

On the correlation between knee flexion and 3D shear wave speed and amplitude in in vivo vastus lateralis

Conference IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium Ius · January 1, 2022 We are investigating the potential for shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) derived material parameters to serve as biomarkers for skeletal muscle health. We consider muscle as a transversely isotropic (TI) material and use rotational 3D-SWEI acquisitions ... Full text Cite

Group Shear Wave Speed Viscoelastic Analysis using 3D Rotational Volumetric Shear Wave Imaging in Relaxed and Contracted in vivo Muscle

Conference IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium Ius · January 1, 2021 To characterize muscle tissue as a viscoelastic transversely isotropic material, we use rotational volumetric shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) and group speed viscoelastic analysis. We performed these measurements in vivo in the vastus lateralis of two ... Full text Cite

Factors Affecting in vivo SH and SV Mode Wave Propagation in vastus lateralis Muscle at Varying Knee Flexion Angles Using Ultrasonic Rotational 3D SWEI

Conference IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium Ius · January 1, 2021 We previously have demonstrated the use of ultrasonic rotational 3D SWEI to measure all three mechanical properties necessary to fully characterize the vastus lateralis muscle in vivo as an incompressible transversely isotropic material: transverse shear m ...
