چکیده
Diagnostic ultrasound has been widely used in clinical applications, such as soft tissue abnormality detection and blood flow detection. However, due to the complexity of ultrasonic wave propagation and scattering in biological tissues which generally involves wave reflection, refraction, scattering, absorption and other wave phenomena, it has always been a rather difficult task to interpret the wave mechanics through the received scattering signals.

In essence, these principles are still used in modern B-mode systems, although they may be used within more complex arrangements designed to enhance performance. A B-mode image is a cross-sectional image representing tissues and organ boundaries within the body (Figure 1.1). It is constructed from echoes, which are generated...
متن کاملIn-Situ Monitoring of Microstructure during Thermomechanical Simulations using Laser-Ultrasonics
Abstract Ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurements are powerful tools to infer information about the microstructure and properties of metals and their alloys. To begin, elastic constants can be measured with precision as high as one part in 10. At this level of precision, changes in elastic constants caused by texture, phase transformations, and various internal friction phenomena can be...

For the production of hot rolled steel it is of special interest to assess the homogeneity of the material along the length of the strip. Being couplant free, laser ultrasound as a method is especially suited for the task because it opens up the opportunity of measuring material parameters early in the production process. Detailed models of the ultrasonic signal are needed though in order to ex...

Intensity variations in image texture can provide powerful quantitative information about physical properties of biological tissue. However, tissue patterns can vary according to the utilized imaging system and are intrinsically correlated to the scale of analysis. In the case of ultrasound, the Nakagami distribution is a general model of the ultrasonic backscattering envelope under various sca...
