AbstractMotion estimation by ultrasound imaging plays an important role in clinical diagnosis. It mostly includes estimation of blood velocities and tissue displacements. This course will provide an overview of basic techniques for motion estimation. It will be supported by some demonstrations in Matlab. It will also be illustrated by vascular and cardiac examples. Some notions of advanced techniques will finally be discussed.
