System and method for estimating cardiac dynamics and flow instability using ultrasound

The present disclosure relates to ultrasound-based strategies and techniques that are specially designed for time-resolved simultaneous cardiac tissue visualization and intracardiac flow instability mapping. First, to achieve high-resolution tissues images while also acquiring flow data, we devised an acquisition scheme which consists of two batches. The first batch is dedicated to tissue imaging, where we transmit a series of diverging waves emitted from different virtual source locations. These pulses have a single pulse-cycle to optimize axial resolution and are coherently compounded for improving lateral resolution. This paradigm generates tissue images with an improved resolution, allowing for real-time guidance at frame rates up to 50 fps. The second batch is dedicated for flow imaging where all diverging waves are transmitted from the same virtual source location. These flow pulses have a 5-cycle pulse length for improved flow signal. The length of this batch can be adjusted, but our experiments use a length of 64. The final transmission scheme alternates between the tissue batch and flow batch.

3-D ultrasound coronarography, a non-ionizing and non-invasive technology for multi-scale anatomical and functional imaging of coronary circulation

The present invention relates to the field of ultrasounds and imagining of the coronary blood flow of the heart. Patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) have poor prognostic with significantly higher rates of cardiovascular events, including hospitalization for heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and myocardial infarction (MI). Despite the urgent clinical need, there are no non-ionizing and non-invasive techniques available in clinic to directly visualize the coronary microvasculature and assess the local coronary microvascular system. Flow imaging remains a difficult task to perform in the heart because of the fast movements of this organ. In order to overcome the limitations of actual imaging methods for the coronary blood flow, the inventors proposed an ultrasound ultrafast imaging method that automatically detect the time periods in which the myocardium velocity is low and estimate the coronary flow velocity and the tissue velocity from the same data acquisition.
