Methods We studied N=2511 adult participants (mean age 65.7±8.8 years, 56% women) of the Framingham Offspring Study who were free of cardiovascular disease at baseline. We employed texture analysis of ...

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the first-line imaging modality but disparities in patient pathways across the UK can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. We aimed to develop and validate ...

OBJECTIVE: Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy is a common non-invasive method for assessing ischemic burden, though artifacts can affect accuracy. Speckle-tracking strain echocardiography improves left ...

Abstract: Design criteria are given for low-noise, wideband front-end electronics suitable for pulse-echo operation of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs). To investigate which ...

What is a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)? A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) uses echocardiography to assess the structure and function of the heart. During the procedure, a transducer (like ...

In this work, we develop an adaptive multi-level compactly supported radial basis approach for deformation analysis in 3D+time echocardiography. Our method combines displacement information from shape ...
