Synchronisation of vascular ultrasonic scans with heart activity using ECG signals

Diagnosis, monitoring and curing of various vascular abnormalities can be linked to measurements of wall thicknesses of blood vessels. However, use of echo ultrasonic signals for these measurement is complicated by the low level of reflections from the vessels (1-2% from the incident energy), which...
