High-Frame-Rate Doppler Ultrasound Using a Repeated Transmit Sequence
The maximum detectable velocity of high-frame-rate color flow Doppler ultrasound is limited by the imaging frame rate when using coherent compounding techniques. Traditionally, high quality ultrasonic images are produced at a high frame rate via coherent compounding of steered plane wave reconstructions. However, this compounding operation results in an effective downsampling of the slow-time s...
متن کاملHigh Frame Rate 3-D Ultrasound Imaging Using Separable Beamforming
Recently, there has been great interest in 3-D ultrasound imaging, but power constraints have precluded practical implementation of high-resolution and highframe-rate 3-D ultrasound in handheld imaging platforms. In this paper, we propose a separable beamforming procedure for both 3-D synthetic aperture and plane wave systems that drastically reduces computational and hence power requirements. ...
متن کاملElectromechanical delay revisited using very high frame rate ultrasound.
Electromechanical delay (EMD) represents the time lag between muscle activation and muscle force production and is used to assess muscle function in healthy and pathological subjects. There is no experimental methodology to quantify the actual contribution of each series elastic component structures that together contribute to the EMD. We designed the present study to determine, using very high...
متن کاملHigh frame rate ultrasound imaging using parallel beamforming
The human heart contracts and relaxes approximately once each second. This isa complex process where different parts of the cardiac tissue contract and relax atdifferent times and at different rates. The accurate evaluation of this deformation withultrasound requires the use of a high frame rate. The frame rate of a conventionalultrasound image is limited by the round trip propa...
متن کاملMyocardial contrast echocardiography: advantages of quantitative analysis.
Every technology yet to be consolidated needs to be compared with reference methods to evaluate its accuracy. Over the past years, contrast echocardiography has been compared against a variety of standards. In experimental studies, myocardial perfusion data from ultrasound have been compared with the measurements of coronary blood flow obtained by labeled microspheres, or with infarct size foll...
