We propose an ultrasound approach which provides, with one single examination and one single device, access to three bone biomarkers: anatomy, tissue quality and blood flow. It unlocks ultrasound imaging inside bone by accounting for…
We studied the elastic properties of bone to analyze its mechanical behavior. The basic principles of ultrasonic methods are now well established for varying isotropic media, particularly in the field of biomedical engineering. However,…
An alternative approach to ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) for medical imaging is proposed, with the intent to (i) shorten acquisition time for devices with a large number of emitters, (ii) eliminate the calibration step, and (iii)…
Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) is a powerful technique for measuring the full elastic tensor of a given material in a single experiment. Previously, this technique was limited to regularly-shaped samples such as rectangular…
The increase in world elderly population has significantly underlined the need for continuous health care measurement, specifically in rehabilitation monitoring. The new technologies has enabled people to have in home healthcare services,…
Wearable devices are increasingly used as tools for biomedical research, as the continuous stream of behavioral and physiological data they collect can provide insights about our health in everyday contexts. Long-term tracking, defined in…
Recording muscle tendon junction displacements during movement, allows separate investigation of the muscle and tendon behaviour, respectively. In order to provide a fully-automatic tracking method, we employ a novel deep learning approach…
The control of speech can be modelled as a dynamical system in which articulators are driven toward target positions. These models are typically evaluated using fleshpoint data, such as electromagnetic articulography (EMA), but recent…
In this paper, we present a mathematical model and analysis for a new experimental method [Bureau and al., arXiv:2409.13901, 2024] for effective sound velocity estimation in medical ultrasound imaging. We perform a detailed analysis of the…
Pulsars seen at gamma-ray energies offer insight into particle acceleration to very high energies, along with information about the geometry and interaction processes in the magnetospheres of these rotating neutron stars. During the next…
High-frequency focused ultrasound is widely used in biomedical applications such as high-resolution imaging, neuromodulation, particle manipulation, and so on. However, dynamic tuning of the focal plane in conventional systems often relies…
Medical ultrasound imaging is the most widespread real-time non-invasive imaging system and its formulation comprises signal transmission, signal reception, and image formation. Ultrasound signal transmission modelling has been formalized…
With the dramatic upsurge in the volume of ultrasound examinations, low-quality ultrasound imaging has gradually increased due to variations in operator proficiency and imaging circumstances, imposing a severe burden on diagnosis accuracy…
Ultrasound computed tomography techniques have the potential to provide clinicians with 3D, quantitative and high-resolution information of both soft and hard tissues such as the breast or the adult human brain. Their practical application…
This paper provides a mathematical analysis of ultrafast ultrasound imaging. This newly emerging modality for biomedical imaging uses plane waves instead of focused waves in order to achieve very high frame rates. We derive the point spread…
The analysis of human motion as a clinical tool can bring many benefits such as the early detection of disease and the monitoring of recovery, so in turn helping people to lead independent lives. However, it is currently under used.…
This paper proposes a novel contact and wearable sensing system for estimating the upper body posture and joint angles (ankle, knee, and hip) of the human body using foot pressure distribution information obtained from a sensor attached to…
Simulated ultrasound image sequences are key for training and validating machine learning algorithms for left ventricular strain estimation. Several simulation pipelines have been proposed to generate sequences with corresponding ground…
We present a computational method for real-time, patient-specific simulation of 2D ultrasound (US) images. The method uses a large number of tracked ultrasound images to learn a function that maps position and orientation of the transducer…
In vivo measurements of muscle architecture (i.e. the spatial arrangement of muscle fascicles) are routinely included in research and clinical settings to monitor muscle structure, function and plasticity. However, in most cases such…
