Polar strain (radial and circumferential) estimations can suffer from artifacts because the center of a nonsymmetrical carotid atherosclerotic artery, defining the coordinate system in cross-sectional view, can be misregistered...
...Two-affine model-based estimators for vascular ultrasound elastography in cross-sectional view of the artery are evaluated in a common framework of high-frame-rate imaging...
...This paper presents two affine model-based estimators, the affine phase-based estimator (APBE) developed in the framework of transverse oscillation (TO) beamforming, and the Lagrangian speckle model estimator (LSME)...
