Efficient array beam forming by spatial filtering for ultrasound B-mode imaging.
This paper proposes an efficient array beam-forming method using spatial matched filtering (SMF) for ultrasonic imaging. In the proposed method, ultrasonic waves are transmitted from an array subaperture with fixed transmit focus as in conventional array imaging. At receive, radio frequency echo signals from each receive channel are passed through a spatial matched filter that is constructed ba...
متن کاملAll-optical scanhead for ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging—Imaging mode switching by dichroic filtering☆
Ultrasound (US) and photoacoustic (PA) multimodality imaging has the advantage of combining good acoustic resolution with high optical contrast. The use of an all-optical scanhead for both imaging modalities can simplify integration of the two systems and miniaturize the imaging scanhead. Herein we propose and demonstrate an all-optical US/PA scanhead using a thin plate for optoacoustic generat...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of Plasma Array Antenna with Beam Forming
In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...
متن کاملOptical beam forming for phased-array antennas
communications spectrum from copper cables, optical fibres, microwaves, radio and electromagnetic compatibility. Our research concentrates on optical signal processing and networks, mobile communications, microwave techniques and radiation from ICs and PCBs [1]. A considerable (and particularly interesting) part of it is related to optical beam forming for phased array antennas, using optical r...
متن کاملIn vivo noninvasive temperature measurement by B-mode ultrasound imaging.
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the use of ultrasound image analysis in quantifying temperature changes in tissue, both ex vivo and in vivo, undergoing local hyperthermia. METHODS Temperature estimation is based on the thermal dependence of the acoustic speed in a heated medium. Because standard beam-forming algorithms on clinical ultrasound scanners assume a constant acoustic speed, temper...
