Dynamic resolution selection in ultrasonic strain imaging.
Ultrasonic strain imaging promises to be a valuable tool in medical diagnostics. Reliability and ease-of-use have become important considerations. These depend on selection of appropriate imaging parameters. Two tasks are undertaken here. The tradeoff between resolution and estimation precision is examined closely to establish models for the relationships with imaging parameters and data proper...
متن کاملUltrasonic imaging of myocardial strain using cardiac elastography.
Clinical assessment of myocardial ischemia based on visually-assessed wall motion scoring from echocardiography is semiquantitative, operator dependent, and heavily weighted by operator experience and expertise. Cardiac motion estimation methods such as tissue Doppler imaging, used to assess myocardial muscle velocity, provides quantitative parameters such as the strain-rate and strain derived ...
متن کاملResolution of scanning ultrasonic imaging systems with arbitrary transducer excitation
2014 An analytical formulation is presented which predicts the imaging performance of broadband ultrasonic imaging systems. The effect of frequency dependent attenuation on image resolution is analysed. Examples of the case of a narrow RF pulse and a wideband FM chirp pulse excitation are presented. It is shown that as far as the imaging resolution is concerned it is possible to make a very goo...
متن کاملHigh-resolution photoacoustic imaging with focused laser and ultrasonic beams.
We report a photoacoustic imager that utilizes a focused laser beam in combination with a 20 MHz ultrasound focusing transducer to obtain micron-resolution tissue images over a long working distance. The imager is based on a ring transducer that combines ultrasonic and laser beams collinearly and confocally in a monolithic element. The combination of focused laser beam and short pulse irradiati...
متن کاملRobust Fuzzy Content Based Regularization Technique in Super Resolution Imaging
Super-resolution (SR) aims to overcome the ill-posed conditions of image acquisition. SR facilitates scene recognition from low-resolution image(s). Generally assumes that high and low resolution images share similar intrinsic geometries. Various approaches have tried to aggregate the informative details of multiple low-resolution images into a high-resolution one. In this paper, we present a n...
