Saline infusion sonohysterography
Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) is the term for ultrasound imaging of the uterine cavity, using sterile saline solution as a negative contrast medium. It imitates the clarity and exquisite definition of the uterine cavity afforded by amniotic fluid during pregnancy. In principle, any clear liquid could be used to define surfaces. However, sterile saline is inexpensive, easily available ...
متن کاملA novel saline infusion sonohysterography-based strain imaging approach for evaluation of uterine abnormalities in vivo: preliminary results.
In this article, we demonstrate the feasibility of saline infusion sonohysterography-based strain imaging for the determination of stiffness variations in uterine masses in vivo. Strain images are estimated using a 2-dimensional multilevel hybrid algorithm developed for sector array ultrasound transducers. Coarse displacements are initially estimated using envelope echo signals, followed by a g...
متن کاملAutomatic Synthesis of Anthropomorphic Pulmonary CT Phantoms
The great density and structural complexity of pulmonary vessels and airways impose limitations on the generation of accurate reference standards, which are critical in training and in the validation of image processing methods for features such as pulmonary vessel segmentation or artery-vein (AV) separations. The design of synthetic computed tomography (CT) images of the lung could overcome th...
متن کاملConstruction of anthropomorphic phantoms for use in dosimetry studies
This paper reports on the methodology and materials used to construct anthropomorphic phantoms for use in dosimetry studies, improving on methods and materials previously described by Jones et al. [Med Phys. 2006;33(9):3274-82]. To date, the methodology described has been successfully used to create a series of three different adult phantoms at the University of Florida (UF). All phantoms were ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Anthropomorphic Phantoms with Realistic Dielectric Properties for Microwave Breast Imaging Experiments.
We present a technique for fabricating realistic breast phantoms for microwave imaging experiments. Using oil-in-gelatin dispersions that mimic breast tissue dielectric properties at microwave frequencies, we constructed four heterogeneous phantoms spanning the full range of volumetric breast densities. We performed CT scans and dielectric properties measurements to characterize each phantom.
