This study introduces a new method for shear wave imaging (SWI) in arterial cross-sections, enabling detailed analysis of vessel wall properties and plaque composition. The technique accurately measures shear wave dispersion and vessel elastic modulus.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Ultrasound
  • Medical Imaging
  • Vascular Mechanics

Background:

  • Shear wave imaging (SWI) is crucial for vascular elastography, but typically focuses on longitudinal vessel sections.
  • Evaluating arterial cross-sections is vital for understanding vessel wall anisotropy and plaque composition.
  • Existing SWI methods have limitations in assessing the complex 3D structure of vessels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel shear wave imaging method for arterial cross-sections.
  • To enable the measurement of shear wave dispersion and elastic modulus in the vessel wall.
  • To advance the assessment of vascular biomechanical properties.

Main Methods:

  • A novel method utilizing coordinate transformation and directional filtering in the polar coordinate system was developed.

  • Ultrasound radiofrequency data were converted from Cartesian to polar coordinates for radial displacement estimation.
  • Directional filtering along the circumferential direction was applied to isolate relevant shear waves.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method successfully achieved shear wave imaging in the cross-section of vessels.
    • Feasibility was demonstrated through phantom, ex vivo, and in vivo studies.
    • The dispersion relation of shear waves (guided circumferential waves) was accurately measured, allowing for elastic modulus determination.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method enables effective shear wave imaging of arterial cross-sections.
    • This technique provides a new tool for characterizing vascular biomechanics and plaque composition.
    • The findings support the potential of this method for clinical applications in vascular disease assessment.
