Real-time ultrasonic imaging systems have been available for more than thirty years. During
this time much has occurred to the basic architecture and functions of these clinical systems …

Proliferation of the adventitial vasa vasorum (VV) is inherently linked with early atherosclerotic
plaque development and vulnerability. Recently, direct visualization of arterial VV and …

Present 1D phased array probes have outstanding lateral and axial resolution, but their
elevation performance is determined by a fixed aperture focused at a fixed range. Multi-row array …

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a condition that is characterized by the presence of >5%
fat in the liver and affects more than one billion people worldwide. If adequate and early …

The subharmonic emission from insonified contrast microbubbles was used to create a new
imaging modality called Subharmonic Imaging. The subharmonic response of contrast …

Purpose To compare subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) with pressure
catheter–based measurements in human patients with chronic liver disease undergoing …

Range sidelobe artifacts which are associated with pulse compression methods can be
reduced with a new method composed of pulse elongation and deconvolution (PED). While …

Background Today, the clinical applications of CEUS occupy a unique position in the non-
invasive imaging field as defined by these parameters:

The thermal index (TI) has been used as a relative indicator of thermal risk during diagnostic
ultrasound examinations for many years. It is useful in providing feedback to the clinician or …

Our group has proposed the concept of subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE)
utilizing microbubble-based ultrasound contrast agent signals for the noninvasive estimation of …
