Abstract:
data acquisition module, and a GPU‐based high‐speed computing
platform. With this enabling hardware, it becomes possible to image complex flow dynamics at very high frame rates of over 1000 fps by making use of plane wave excitation principles. The visualization performance of these flow imaging innovations will be illustrated through a series of carotid bifurcation imaging cineloops.
