Measurement of nonlinear property of artery wall using remote cyclic actuation

Abstract

The proposal method enables the noninvasive measurement of the nonlinear mechanical property in addition to the elasticity of the arterial wall.

Multiple-frequency ultrasonic imaging by transmitting pulsed waves of two frequencies

“…Using ultrasonic images with high frame rates, for example, Hasegawa et al measured the nonlinear properties of artery walls. 2 Andre et al presented the technique of inverse scattering imaging and examined the validity of the developed imaging system for diagnosis of breast cancer. 3 Furthermore, Filho et al tried luminal contour segmentation in intravascular ultrasound images.…”
