Speckle Tracking and Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2016
Background: Amyloidosis is a disease caused by deposits of insoluble fibrils in extracellular spaces. The most common type of familial amyloidosis is mediated by mutation of transthyretin, especially Val30Met.

Speckle tracking ultrasonography as a new tool to assess diaphragmatic function: a feasibility study [PDF]

Ultrasonography, 2022
A reliable method of measuring diaphragmatic function at the bedside is still lacking. Widely used two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonographic measurements, such as diaphragm excursion, diaphragm thickness, and fractional thickening (FT) have failed to show ...

speckle-tracking: a software suite for ptychographic X-ray speckle tracking [PDF]

Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2020
In recent years, X-ray speckle-tracking techniques have emerged as viable tools for wavefront metrology and sample imaging applications. These methods are based on the measurement of near-field images. Thanks to their simple experimental setup, high angular sensitivity and compatibility with low-coherence sources, these methods have been actively ...

Ptychographic X-ray speckle tracking [PDF]

Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2020
A method is presented for the measurement of the phase gradient of a wavefront by tracking the relative motion of speckles in projection holograms as a sample is scanned across the wavefront. By removing the need to obtain an undistorted reference image of the sample, this method is suitable for the metrology of highly divergent wavefields.

Diagnostic utility of Speckle tracking Echocardiography in detection of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

Zagazig University Medical Journal
Background: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a shorter life expectancy and a higher risk of cardiovascular death than the general population. Speckle tracking echocardiography may detect early myocardial dysfunction in RA patients. Aim of the
