| Abstract | Carotid strain imaging in 3D is not possible with conventional focused imaging, because the frame rate is too low. Plane wave ultrasound provides sufficiently high frame rates, albeit at the cost of image quality, especially in the off-axis direction due to the lack of focusing. Multiple techniques have been developed to cope with the low off-axis image quality when performing 2D (and in future 3D) motion estimation: cross correlation with directional beamforming (with or without RF (coherent) compounding) and displacement compounding. This study compares the precision of these techniques using linear array ultrasound data of a pulsating concentric homogeneous artery simulated using Field II. The transducer $(f_{c}$ = 9 MHz, pitch = 197.9 μm, 192 elements, $f_{s}$ = 180 MHz) transmitted plane waves at 3 sequentially alternating angles (0°, +θ, -θ) at a PRF of 2 kHz. Simulations were repeated for θ ranging from 1° to 20° with increments of 1°. Displacements were estimated for frame intervals of 1/15th s, tracked, and cumulated from diastole to systole using either displacement compounding, or directional beamforming optionally enhanced by RF compounding. 1D directional beamforming with RF compounding and 2D displacement compounding with θ = ~20° performed equally and best with a relative root-mean-squared error of ~2% with respect to the analytical solution. The mean and standard deviation of the estimated motion direction for 2D displacement compounding with θ = 20° was 0.03° +/- 1.43°. Since displacement compounding requires no assumptions regarding the motion direction, this technique seems the best option for plane wave carotid strain imaging. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
