Characterization of vascular strain during <it>in-vitro </it>angioplasty with high-resolution ultrasound speckle tracking

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ultrasound elasticity imaging provides biomechanical and elastic properties of vascular tissue, with the potential to distinguish between tissue motion and tissue strain. To validate the ability of ultrasound elasticity imaging to pr...
