• Data Adaptive 2-D Tracking Doppler for High-Resolution Spectral Estimation 

      Karabiyik, Yücel; Avdal, Jørgen; Ekroll, Ingvild Kinn; Fiorentini, Stefano; Torp, Hans; Løvstakken, Lasse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Spectral broadening in pulsed-wave Doppler caused by the transit-time effect deteriorates the frequency resolution and may cause overestimation of maximum velocities in high-velocity blood flow regions and for large ...
    • Quantifying Valve Regurgitation using 3-D Doppler Ultrasound Images and Deep Learning 

      Wifstad, Sigurd Vangen; Løvstakken, Lasse; Avdal, Jørgen; Berg, Erik Andreas Rye; Torp, Hans; Grenne, Bjørnar; Fiorentini, Stefano (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Accurate quantification of cardiac valve regurgitation jets is fundamental for guiding treatment. Cardiac ultrasound is the preferred diagnostic tool, but current methods for measuring the regurgitant volume (RVol) are ...

    • Real-Time Automatic Ejection Fraction and Foreshortening Detection Using Deep Learning 

      Smistad, Erik; Salte, Ivar Mjåland; Østvik, Andreas; Melichova, Daniela; Nguyen, Thuy Mi; Haugaa, Kristina; Brunvand, Harald; Edvardsen, Thor; Leclerc, Sarah; Bernard, Olivier; Grenne, Bjørnar; Løvstakken, Lasse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Volume and ejection fraction (EF) measurements of the left ventricle (LV) in 2-D echocardiography are associated with a high uncertainty not only due to interobserver variability of the manual measurement, but also due to ...
    • Retrospective Transmit beamforming and Coherent Plane-Wave Compounding for Microvascular Doppler Imaging: A Comparison Study 

      Golfetto, Cristiana; Ekroll, Ingvild Kinn; Torp, Hans; Løvstakken, Lasse; Avdal, Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Imaging blood flow in small vessels is of great clinical value for evaluating increased vascularization, potentially related to angiogenesis in cancer or inflammation processes in musculoskeletal disease. Using a traditional ...
