Multi-Plane Ultrafast Compound 3D Strain Imaging: Experimental Validation in a Carotid Bifurcation Phantom

Strain imaging of the carotid artery (CA) has demonstrated to be a technique capable of identifying plaque composition. This study assesses the performance of volumetric strain imaging derived from multi-plane acquisitions with a single transducer, with and without displacement compounding. These me...
