6. Assessment of Shear Wave Elastography Acoustic Output - a Simulation and Experimental Study
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)Abstract : Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is a medical imaging modality which is able to measure tissue stiffness through the speed of ultrasound-induced shear waves. Pre- vious studies have reviewed the safety aspects of clinical ultrasound, highlighting the harmlessness of the technique. READ MORE

7. Accuracy Assessment of Shear Wave Elastography for Arterial Applications by Mechanical Testing
University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)Abstract : Arterial stiffness is an important biometric in predicting cardiovascular diseases, since mechanical properties serve as indicators of several pathologies such as e.g. atherosclerosis. READ MORE

8. Assessment of Pulse Wave Velocity in the Aorta by using 4D Flow MRI
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolanAbstract : The purpose of this master thesis was to evaluate the estimation of pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the aorta using 4D flow MRI. PWV is the velocity of the pressure wave generated by the heart during systole and is a marker of arterial stiffness and a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). READ MORE

9. Pressure Estimation in the Systemic Arteries Using a Transfer Function
University essay from Mekanik; Tekniska högskolanAbstract : The aim of this thesis is to develop and study a method for estimation of the pulse pressure in centrally located arteries. Obtaining the central pulse pressure is desirable for several reasons. For example, the central pulse pressure can be used to assess aortic stiffness, which in turn is an important predictor of cardiovascular mortality. READ MORE
