Mapping Myocardial Elasticity with Intracardiac Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Methods
… characterizing the heart's elastic properties. Elasticity imaging may be of benefit for diagnosis and characterization of infarction and heart failure, as well as for guidance of ablation therapy for the treatment of arrhythmias. This thesis tests the hypothesis that with appropriately designed …

A 3-D Multiparametric Ultrasound Elasticity Imaging System for Targeted Prostate Biopsy Guidance
… goal of this work is to leverage ultrasound elasticity imaging methods, including acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging and shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI), to develop and optimize a robust 3-D elasticity imaging system for ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies and to quantify …

Assessment of Cardiac Function by Acoustic Radiation Force (ARF) Based Methods of Ultrasound Elastography
… compliance. </p><p>These measures are based on imaging and include Ejection Fraction and Doppler and ultrasound strain imaging. These measurements are indirect measures that rely on cardiac motion or volume changes. The measurements are load dependent and could be affected by the heart rhythm …
