Notice of Removal: High-volume-rate 3-D ultrasound imaging based on motion compensation: A feasibility study

Echocardiography is the most used modality for the evaluation of cardiac function. To obtain a time-resolved volumetric quantification of cardiac motion, ultrafast 3-D imaging is required. Ultrafast ultrasound imaging with diverging waves has demonstrated its potential for clinical 2-D echocardiography. It has been shown that MoCo (motion compensation) strategies based on a triangle transmit arrangement could produce high-contrast cardiac B-mode images at 500 fps [1]. With the purpose of developing high-volume-rate 3-D echocardiography, we introduced a transmit sequence enabling volumetric MoCo for spherical diverging wave imaging.
