Elevational spatial compounding for enhancing image quality in echocardiography
INTRODUCTION Echocardiography is commonly used in clinical practice for the real-time assessment of cardiac morphology and function. Nevertheless, due to the nature of the data acquisition, cardiac ultrasound images are often corrupted by a range of acoustic artefacts, including acoustic noise, speckle and shadowing. Spatial compounding techniques have long been recognised for their ability to ...
متن کاملTemporal compounding: a novel implementation and its impact on quality and diagnostic value in echocardiography.
Temporal compounding can be used to suppress acoustic noise in transthoracic cardiac ultrasound by spatially averaging partially decorrelated images acquired over consecutive cardiac cycles. However, the reliable spatial and temporal alignment of the corresponding frames in consecutive cardiac cycles is vital for effective implementation of temporal compounding. This study introduces a novel, e...
متن کاملRapid Image Registration for 3d Ultrasound Compounding
A Subvolume-based algorithm for Ultrasound REgistration (SURE) has been developed and tested using artificially deformed in vivo ultrasound scans. SURE works in two stages, using MIAMI Fuse[1-2] software to determine a global, affine registration in the first stage before iteratively dividing the volume into subvolumes and computing local rigid registrations in the second stage. Connectivity of...
متن کاملSpatial compounding in 3D imaging of limbs.
Effects of spatial compounding on image resolution and speckle noise are studied. Using computer simulation, it is shown that spatial compounding using averaged reconstruction can significantly improve lateral resolution while slightly deteriorate axial resolution. The amount of net resolution improvement depends mainly on the compound angle, but is insensitive to the number of component images...
متن کاملA new method of spatial compounding imaging.
A new method of spatial compound imaging is presented that improves image quality without the usual requirement to decrease the frame rate. The new method of imaging utilizes three transducers for data acquisition. The transducer located at the center of the transducer system is a phased array probe that acts as both transmitter and receiver. The other transducers are unfocused pistons that act...
