Contrast Improvement in Sub- and Ultraharmonic Ultrasound Contrast Imaging by Combining Several Hammerstein Models
Sub- and ultraharmonic (SUH) ultrasound contrast imaging is an alternative modality to the second harmonic imaging, since, in specific conditions it could produce high quality echographic images. This modality enables the contrast enhancement of echographic images by using SUH present in the contrast agent response but absent from the nonperfused tissue. For a better access to the components ge...
متن کاملOrgan dose in kidney imaging with contrast media
Introduction:Intravenous urography (IVU) test includes high number of images and extended imaging size. These make IVU as a diagnostic method with high absorbed doses by sensitive organs such as intestine and gonads in pelvic-abdominal area. In this study absorbed doses of pelvic-abdomen sensitive organs such as Adrenal, Bladder, Colon and Gonads in IVU test. <stron...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasound for prostate cancer imaging
• Need for targeted instead of blind biopsies, in order to reduce false negatives and to improve grading and staging • Need for accurate grading, staging and prognosis, in order to a) reduce side effects by enabling active surveillance and treating only relevant cases and b) avoid recurrence as a result of understaging and inappropriate treatment • Need for targeted therapies (focal local treat...
متن کاملHigh Framerate Imaging of Ultrasound Contrast Agents
Phospholipid-coated ultrasound contrast agents may deflate or even collapse because of stress resulting from ultrasound-induced oscillations. In this work we investigate the behavior of isolated contrast agent microbubbles during prolonged ultrasound excitation. Isolated microbubbles placed in a thin capillary tube were excited with hundreds of ultrasound pulses at a low mechanical index, and t...
متن کاملLocalization of Prostate Cancer by Contrast- Ultrasound Diffusion Imaging
In western countries, prostate cancer is the form of cancer with the highest incidence in men. One in six men is diagnosed with prostate cancer during his life, and prostate cancer accounts for 25% and 10% of all cancer diagnoses and deaths, respectively [2J. Because of the low specificity of the available noninvasive diagnostics, today’s diagnosis is based on systematically distributed biopsie...
