Resumen
Cardiovascular diseases is a leading cause of death worldwide and improvement of the corresponding screening tool is the best way to deal with this clinical problem. In this thesis we attempted to develop a framework of ultrasound high frame rate vector flow imaging (VFI) by emphasizing on the design of corresponding flow detector and flow estimator. We believe that the high temporal resolution and the complex blood flow visualization ability of high frame rate VFI enables it to be further developed as a reliable flow imaging modality for cardiological examination. In order to achieve high temporal resolution, fast data acquisition algorithm was applied in the framework. Doppler signals acquired using this acquisition algorithm have two unique characteristics comparing with conventional data acquisition algorithm: (1) widen spectral bandwidth and (2) greater clutter to blood signal ratio. These signal characteristics give rise to unique signal processing. In addition, complex blood flow pattern, which is common in cardiological examination, induces extra challenges in implementing high frame rate VFI. In this thesis, flow detector which is adaptive to different flow scenarios and high dynamic range 2D flow estimator were presented. The proposed flow detector employes K-means++ clustering algorithm to classify clutter components from acquired Doppler signals. As a performance analysis, Field II simulation studies were performed by a parabolic flow phantom (flow velocity: 10mm/s to 200mm/s; tissue motion: 10mm/s; beam-flow angle: 60?). The post-filtered Doppler power map and BCR were used as qualitative and quantitativemeasures of detectors performance. Analyzed result has indicated that, as compared with clutter downmixing detector and eigen-based detector, the proposed flow detector could classify and suppress clutter component more effectively. Results also suggested that the proposed flow detector is more adaptive to slow flow scenarios where existing flow detectors failed to distinguish between blood and clutter components. For the proposed flow estimator, it was characterized by the interpolation of speckle tracking results in Lagrangian reference frame. The estimation bias and RMS error were calculated for different flow scenarios (flow velocity: 100mm/s to 500mm/s; beam-flow angle: 15? to 60?). It was found that the proposed flow estimator provides higher dynamic range than conventional speckle tracking-based flow estimator. Nonetheless, it is also observed that the estimation variances and errors increases in slow flow scenarios. In order to demonstrate the medical potential of the proposed high frame rate VFI framework. A carotid bifurcation simulation model with realistic blood flow pattern calculated using computational fluid dynamic software was applied in the performance evaluation study. In the VFI image obtained, complex blood flow pattern was readily visualized. In contrast, conventional ultrasound flow imaging was only able to estimate axial velocity map and thus lead to many ambiguities in analyzing the complex blood flow pattern. It proved that ultrasound high frame rate VFI has the potential to be further developed into a new cardiological examination technique.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Electrical and Electronic Engineering<br>Master<br>Master of Philosophy

Resumen
L'échographie est largement utilisée pour l'imagerie du flux sanguin pour ses nombreux avantages tels que son inocuité, son cout réduit, sa facilité d'utilisation et ses performances. Cette thèse a pour objectif de proposer de nouvelles méthodes ultrasonores d'imagerie du flux sanguin. Après une étude bibliographique, plusieurs approches ont été étudiées en détail jusqu'à leur implémentation sur l'échographe de recherche ULA-OP développé au sein du laboratoire et ont été validées en laboratoire et en clinique. La transmission d'ondes planes a été proposée pour améliorer la technique d'imagerie utilisant les oscillations transverses. Des champs de pression ultrasonores présentant des oscillations transverses sont générés dans de larges régions et exploités pour l'estimation vectorielle du flux sanguin à une haute cadence d'imagerie. Des cartes du flux sanguin sont obtenues grâce à une technique s'appuyant sur la transmission d'ondes planes couplées à un nouvel algorithme d'estimation de la vitesse dans le domaine fréquentiel. Les méthodes vectorielles implémentées en temps réel dans le ULA-OP ont été comparées à la méthode Doppler classique lors d'une étude clinique. Les résultats ont montré le bénéfice des méthodes vectorielles en termes de précision et de répétabilité. La nouvelle méthode proposée a démontré sa grande précision ainsi que son gain en termes de temps de calcul aussi bien en simulations qu'en acquisitions en laboratoire ou lors d'essais in vivo. Une solution logicielle temps réel implémentée sur une carte GPU a été proposée et testée afin de réduire encore le temps de calcul et permettre l'emploi de la méthode en clinique<br>Ultrasound is widely used for blood flow imaging because of the considerable advantages for the clinician, in terms of performance, costs, portability, and ease of use, and for the patient, in terms of safety and rapid checkup. The undesired limitations of conventional methods (1-D estimations and low frame-rate) are widely overtaken by new vector approaches that offer detailed descriptions of the flow for a more accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular system diseases. This PhD project concerns the development of novel methods for blood flow imaging. After studying the state-of-the-art in the field, a few approaches have been examined in depth up to their experimental validation, both in technical and clinical environments, on a powerful ultrasound research platform (ULA-OP). Real-time novel vector methods implemented on ULA-OP were compared to standard Doppler methods in a clinical study. The results attest the benefits of the vector methods in terms of accuracy and repeatability. Plane-wave transmissions were exploited to improve the transverse oscillation imaging method. Double oscillating fields were produced in large regions and exploited for the vectorial description of blood flow at high frame rates. Blood flow maps were obtained by plane waves coupled to a novel velocity estimation algorithm operating in the frequency domain. The new method was demonstrated capable of high accuracy and reduced computational load by simulations and experiments (also in vivo). The investigation of blood flow inside the common carotid artery has revealed the hemodynamic details with unprecedented quality. A software solution implemented on a graphic processing unit (GPU) board was suggested and tested to reduce the computational time and support the clinical employment of the method

Resumen
Ces travaux de thèse portent sur le développement de nouvelles modalités d’imagerie cardiovasculaire basé sur l’utilisation de l'imagerie ultrarapide 2D et 3D. Les modalités d’imagerie développées dans cette thèse appartiennent au domaine de de l’élastographie par onde de cisaillement et de l'imagerie Doppler des flux sanguins.Dans un premier temps, la technique de l’élastographie par onde de cisaillement du myocarde a été développée pour les applications cliniques. Une approche d'imagerie non-linéaire a été utilisée pour améliorer l’estimation de vitesse des ondes de cisaillement (ou la rigidité des tissus cardiaques) de manière non invasive et localisée. La validation de cette nouvelle approche de « l’imagerie par sommation cohérente harmonique ultrarapide » a été réalisée in vitro et la faisabilité in vivo a été testée chez l’humain. Dans un second temps, nous avons utilisé cette technique sur des patients lors de deux essais cliniques, chacun ciblant une population différente (adultes et enfants). Nous avons étudié la possibilité d’évaluer quantitativement la rigidité des tissus cardiaques par élastographie chez des volontaires sains, ainsi que chez des malades souffrant de cardiomyopathie hypertrophique. Les résultats ont montré que l’élastographie pourrait devenir un outil d'imagerie pertinent et robuste pour évaluer la rigidité du muscle cardiaque en pratique clinique. Par ailleurs, nous avons également développé une nouvelle approche appelée « imagerie de tenseur élastique 3-D » pour mesurer quantitativement les propriétés élastiques des tissus anisotropes comme le myocarde. Ces techniques ont été testées in vitro sur des modèles de de gels isotropes transverses. La faisabilité in vivo de l’élastographie par onde cisaillement à trois-dimensions a été également évaluée sur un muscle squelettique humain.D'autre part, nous avons développé une toute nouvelle modalité d’imagerie ultrasonore des flux coronariens basée sur l’imagerie Doppler ultrarapide. Cette technique nous a permis d'imager la circulation coronarienne avec une sensibilité élevée, grâce notamment au développement d’un nouveau filtre adaptatif permettant de supprimer le signal du myocarde en mouvement, basé sur la décomposition en valeurs singulières (SVD). Des expériences à thorax ouvert chez le porc ont permis d'évaluer et de valider notre technique et les résultats ont montré que la circulation coronaire intramurale, peut être évaluée sur des vaisseaux de diamètres allant jusqu’à 100 µm. La faisabilité sur l’homme a été démontrée chez l’enfant en imagerie clinique transthoracique.Enfin, nous avons développé une nouvelle approche d’imagerie des flux sanguins, « l’imagerie ultrarapide 3-D des flux», une nouvelle technique d'imagerie quantitative des flux. Nous avons démontré que cette technique permet d’évaluer le débit volumétrique artériel directement en un seul battement cardiaque, indépendamment de l'utilisateur. Cette technique a été mise en place à l'aide d'une sonde matricielle 2-D et d’un prototype d’échographe ultrarapide 3-D développé au sein du laboratoire. Nous avons évalué et validé notre technique in vitro sur des fantômes artériels, et la faisabilité in vivo a été démontrée sur des artères carotides humaines<br>This thesis was focused on the development of novel cardiovascular imaging applications based on 2-D and 3-D ultrafast ultrasound imaging. More specifically, new technical and clinical developments of myocardial shear wave elastography and ultrafast blood flow imaging are presented in this manuscript.At first, myocardial shear wave elastography was developed for transthoracic imaging and improved by a non-linear imaging approach to non-invasively and locally assess shear wave velocity measurements, and consequently tissue stiffness in the context of cardiac imaging. This novel imaging approach (Ultrafast Harmonic Coherent Compounding) was tested and validated in-vitro and the in vivo feasibility was performed in humans for biomechanical evaluation of the cardiac muscle wall, the myocardium. Then, we have translated shear wave elastography to the clinical practice within two clinical trials, each one with a different population (adults and children). In both clinical trials, we have studied the capability of shear wave elastography to assess quantitatively myocardial stiffness in healthy volunteers and in patients suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The results in the adult population indicated that shear wave elastography may become an effective imaging tool to assess cardiac muscle stiffness in clinical practice and help the characterization of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Likewise, we have also translated Shear Wave Elastography into four-dimensions and we have developed a new approach to map tissue elastic anisotropy in 3-D. 3-D Elastic Tensor Imaging allowed us to estimate quantitatively in a single acquisition the elastic properties of fibrous tissues. This technique was tested and validated in vitro in transverse isotropic models. The in-vivo feasibility of 3D elastic tensor imaging was also assessed in a human skeletal muscle.In parallel, we have developed a novel imaging technique for the non-invasive and non-radiative imaging of coronary circulation using ultrafast Doppler. This approach allowed us to image blood flow of the coronary circulation with high sensitivity. A new adaptive filter based on the singular value decomposition was used to remove the clutter signal of moving tissues. Open-chest swine experiments allowed to evaluate and validate this technique and results have shown that intramural coronary circulation, with diameters up to 100 µm, could be assessed. The in-vivo transthoracic feasibility was also demonstrated in humans in pediatric cardiology.Finally, we have developed a novel imaging modality to map quantitatively the blood flow in 3-D: 3-D ultrafast ultrasound flow imaging. We demonstrated that 3-D ultrafast ultrasound flow imaging can assess non-invasively, user-independently and directly volumetric flow rates in large arteries within a single heartbeat. We have evaluated and validated our technique in vitro in arterial phantoms using a 2-D matrix-array probe and a customized, programmable research 3-D ultrafast ultrasound system, and the in-vivo feasibility was demonstrated in human carotid arteries

Resumen
Three-dimensional (3-D) medical imaging creates notable opportunities as input toward engineering analyses, whether for basic understanding of the normal function or patho-physiology of an organ, or for the simulation of virtual surgical procedures. These analyses most often require finite element (FE) models to be constructed from patient-specific 3-D medical images. However, creation of such models can be extremely labor-intensive; in addition, image processing and mesh generation are often operator-dependent, lack robustness and may be of suboptimal quality. Focusing on the human aorta, the goal of the present work is to create a fast and robust methodology for quadrilateral surface and hexahedral volume meshing from 3-D medical images with minimal user input. By making use of the segmentation capabilities of the 3-D gradient vector flow field combined with original ray-tracing and orientation control algorithms, we will demonstrate that it is possible to incrementally grow a structured quadrilateral surface mesh of the inner wall of the aorta. The process does not only require minimal input from the user, it is also robust and very fast compared to existing methods; it effectively combines segmentation and meshing into one single effort. After successfully testing the methodology and measuring the quality of the meshes produced by it from synthetic as well as real medical image datasets, we will make use of the surface mesh of the inner aortic wall to derive hexahedral meshes of the aortic wall thickness and of the fluid domain inside the aorta. We will finally outline a tentative approach to merge several structured meshes to process the main branches of the aorta.

Resumen
Devido à variação na qualidade e ao ruído nas imagens médicas, a aplicação de técnicas tradicionais de segmentação é geralmente ineficiente. Nesse sentido, apresenta-se um novo algoritmo a partir de duas técnicas: o modelo de contornos deformáveis por fluxo do vetor gradiente (GVF deformable contours) e a técnica de espaço de escalas utilizando o processo de difusão. Assim, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica dos modelos que trabalham com os contornos deformáveis, os quais foram classificados em modelos paramétricos e geométricos. Entre os modelos paramétricos foi escolhido o modelo de contornos deformáveis por fluxo do vetor gradiente (GVF). Esta aproximação oferece precisão na representação de estruturas biológicas não observada em outros modelos. Desta forma, o algoritmo apresentado mapeia as bordas (edge map) e aperfeiçoa a condução da deformação utilizando uma técnica baseada em operações recursivas. Com este cálculo apoiado no comportamento de espaço de escalas, obtem-se a localização e correção de sub-regiões do edge map que perturbam a deformação. Por outro lado, é incorporada uma nova característica que permite ao algoritmo realizar atividades de classificação. O algoritmo consegue determinar a presença ou ausência de um objeto de interesse utilizando um valor mínimo de deformação. O algoritmo é validado através do tratamento de imagens sintéticas e médicas comparando os resultados com os obtidos no modelo tradicional de contornos deformáveis GVF.<br>Due to the variation of the quality and noise in medical images, the classic image segmentation techniques are usually ineffective. In this work, we present a new algorithm that is composed of two techniques: the gradient vector flow deformable contours (GVF) and the scale-space technique using a diffusion process. A bibliographical revision of the models that work with deformable contours was accomplished, they were classified in parametric and geometric models. Among the parametric models the gradient vector flow deformable contours (GVF) was chosen. This approach offers precision in the representation of biological structures where other models does not. Thus, the algorithm improves the edge map to guide the deformation using recursive operations. With this estimation based on the behavior of the scale-space techniques it is realized, the localization and correction of sub-areas of the edge map that disturb the deformation. On the other hand, it was incorporated a new characteristic that allows the algorithm to accomplish classification activities. That is, the algorithm determines the presence or absence of a target object using a minimal deformation area. Our method was validated on both, simulated images and medical images making a comparison with the traditional GVF deformable contours.
