Abstract

Aims: Non-invasive ultrasound coupled with speckle tracking may estimate aortic wall motion and deformation providing important insight into changes in vascular compliance and vessel wall properties which are necessary for understanding the pathogenesis and progression of aortic diseases, such as atherosclerosis and aneurysm. So far, 2D speckle tracking has been used in arterial wall strain measurement. In this study, the novel 3D speckle tracking technique was employed to estimate aortic wall motion and strain.
