摘要

High frame rate imaging is particularly important in echocardiography for better assessment of the cardiac function. Several studies showed that diverging wave imaging (DWI) and multiline transmission (MLT) are promising methods for achieving a high temporal resolution. The aim of this study was to compare MLT and compounded motion compensation (MoCo) DWI for the same transmitted power, same frame rates [image quality and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) assessment], and same packet size [tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) assessment]. Our results on static images showed that MLT outperforms DW in terms of resolution (by 30% on average). However, in terms of contrast, MLT outperforms DW only for the depth of 11 cm (by 40% on average), the result being reversed at a depth of 4 cm (by 27% on average). In vitro results on a spinning phantom at nine different velocities showed that similar STE axial errors (up to 2.3% difference in median errors and up to 2.1% difference in the interquartile ranges) are obtained with both ultrafast methods. On the other hand, the median lateral STE estimates were up to 13% more accurate with DW than with MLT. On the contrary, the accuracy of TDI was only up to similar to 3% better with MLT, but the achievable DW Doppler frame rate was up to 20 times higher. However, our overall results showed that the choice of one method relative to the other is therefore dependent on the application. More precisely, in terms of image quality, DW is more suitable for imaging structures at low depths, while MLT can provide an improved image quality at the focal point that can be placed at higher depths. In terms of motion estimation, DW is more suitable for color Doppler-related applications, while MLT could be used to estimate velocities along selected lines of the image.
