We demonstrate the feasibility of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) chirp imaging as well as chirp reversal ultrasound contrast imaging at intravascular ultrasound frequency. Chirp excitations were emitted with a 34 MHz single crystal intravascular transducer and compared to con ...
The carotid artery (CA) is one of the main arteries of interest to cardiovascular research, because of the clinical relevance of CA plaques as culprits of stroke and the accessibility of the CA for cardiovascular health screening. Viscoelastic properties of the arterial wall a ...
Plane wave ultrasound imaging using a single short, broadband planar source pulse generated by photoacoustic excitation, was demonstrated.
@enPhotoacoustic signals originating from weak sources can be hard to discriminate from higher intensity signals resulting from the photoacoustic background. In order to reveal these weaker signals we propose a method where the expected background signal is subtracted from the ac ...
