Statistically stable ultrasonic imaging in random media.
Analysis of array data from acoustic scattering in a random medium with a small number of isolated targets is performed in order to image and, thereby, localize the spatial position of each target. Because the host medium has random fluctuations in wave speed, the background medium is itself a source of scattered energy. It is assumed, however, that the targets are sufficiently larger and/or mo...
متن کاملDynamic 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 کاملQuantification of Regional Myocardial Function following Acute Myocardial Infarction by Ultrasonic Strain Rate and Strain Imaging
Objectives: The rapid diagnosis and early risk stratification of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is important. In experimental setting ultrasonic strain rate (SR) and strain (S) have been shown to identify changes in deformation predictive of ischemia. We sought to evaluate and compare regional myocardial function at “the risk zone” (ARZ) supplied by the culprit coron...
متن کاملUltrasonic Imaging
The basic principles of ultrasonic B-mode imaging aresummarized. Tissue features that generate contrast andsystem features that control image quality are reviewed inthe context of breast cancer imaging. Approaches to signalmodeling, including B-mode and Doppler techniques, arereviewed to guide methodological design and clinical eval-uation. The article concludes with a b...
