On Shear Wave Speed Estimation for Agar-Gelatine Phantom
Conventional imaging of diagnostic ultrasound is widely used. Although it makes the differences in the soft tissues echogenicities’ apparent and clear, it fails in describing and estimating the soft tissue mechanical properties. It cannot portray their mechanical properties, such as the elasticity and stiffness. Estimating the mechanical properties increases chances of the identification of les...
متن کاملPreparation of a homemade ultrasound biopsy phantom.
Sonographic guidance has long been employed for biopsy with sector scanners by utilizing attachable offset guides,’-5 by dedicated linear array system^,^,^ or by “free hand.”’ All of these techniques are bimanual, in contrast to a diagnostic scan or biopsy alone. The dedicated systems provide a slot that causes the needle to be directed into the center of the scanning plane. When the procedure ...
متن کاملPhantom-based quality assurance measurements in B-mode ultrasound
BACKGROUND Recommended phantom-based quality assurance measurements in B-mode ultrasound (US) may be tedious. For the purpose of cost-effective US quality assurance it is important to evaluate measurements that effectively reflect the quality of US scanner. PURPOSE To find out which recommended phantom-based quality assurance measurements are effective in detecting dead or weak transducer ele...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Cardiac Ultrasound Segmentation Algorithm Using a Phantom
This paper evaluates the performance of a level set algorithm for segmenting the endocardium in short-axis ultrasound images. The evaluation is carried out using an anthropomorphic ultrasound phantom. Details of the phantom design, including comparison of the ultrasound parameters with in-vitro measurements, are included. In addition to measuring segmentation accuracy, the effectiveness of the ...
متن کاملLocalizing target structures in ultrasound video - A phantom study
The problem of localizing specific anatomic structures using ultrasound (US) video is considered. This involves automatically determining when an US probe is acquiring images of a previously defined object of interest, during the course of an US examination. Localization using US is motivated by the increased availability of portable, low-cost US probes, which inspire applications where inexper...
