Background, Motivation and Objective The complex myocardial fiber architecture is associated with cardiac electromechanics and alters in diseased conditions, so its evaluation is important for the detection of the disease. Our pilot study (Yu and Lee. IEEE IUS 2014) showed that Nakagami imaging could depict the structural differences between short- and long-axis views of the left ventricle (LV) with a linear array. Routine echocardiography, however, is performed in a phased array configuration, which is challenging for kernel-based speckle analysis,like Nakagami imaging (NI), due to the non-uniform spatial resolution. This study thus aims to further investigate the feasibility of NI to find the transmural fiber orientation in myocardium with a phased array.
