Radio-frequency ablation (RFA) is used to locally disrupt electrical propagation in myocardium and treat arrhythmias, and direct visualization of ablation lesions by acoustic radiation force methods may benefit RFA procedures. This paper compares four imaging modalities, B-mode, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), single-track-location shear wave elasticity imaging (STL-SWEI), and multiple-track-location shear wave elasticity imaging (MTL-SWEI), in their ability to resolve RFA lesions in fo ...[more]
