Microphone Array Phased Processing System (MAPPS): Phased Array System for Acoustic Measurements in a Wind Tunnel
A processing system has been developed to meet increasing demands for detailed noise measurement of aircraft in wind tunnels. Phased arrays enable spatial and amplitude measurements of acoustic sources, including low signal-to-noise sources not measurable by conventional measurement techniques. The Microphone Array Phased Processing System (MAPPS) provides processing and visualization of acoust...
متن کاملPassive Array Mechanical Driver for Magnetic Resonance Elastography of the Breast
V. Khozikov, P. J. Rossman, R. L. Ehman Radiology, Mayo Clinic and Foundation, Rochester, MN, United States Introduction. Dynamic magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a method for quantitatively imaging the mechanical properties of tissue, using modified phasecontrast MRI to visualize applied shear waves [1]. There is interest in exploring possible applications of MRE in the diagnosis of br...
متن کاملFocused Acoustic Driver to Generate High-Frequency Shear Waves in Deep Regions for Magnetic Resonance Elastography
INTRODUCTION Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase-contrast technique that can noninvasively visualize shear waves patterns within tissue [1]. Accurate values of tissue stiffness are calculated by the equations of motion from the shear wave pattern of a single frequency [2]. In order to generate shear waves within tissue, various external drivers have been proposed [3]. To acquire an...
متن کاملDirectional Filtering for Multiple-Driver Magnetic Resonance Elastography Data
D. S. Lake, A. Manduca, Y. Mariappan, R. L. Ehman Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN, United States Introduction Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase contrast based MRI imaging technique that can directly visualize and quantitatively measure propagating acoustic strain waves in tissue-like materials subjected to harmonic mechanical excitation [1]. The data acquired allow...
متن کاملImage construction methods for phased array magnetic resonance imaging.
PURPOSE To study image construction in phased array magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems from a statistical signal processing point of view. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three new approaches for image combination with multiple coils are proposed: 1) one based on the singular value decomposition of the measurement matrix, which is asymptotically optimal in the signal-to-noise ratio sense; 2) one ...
