Acoustic nonlinear imaging and its application in tissue characterization

چکیده
Acoustic nonlinear imaging has brought about significant improvements in image quality by taking advantage of the nonlinear components. This paper reviews works on acoustic nonlinear imaging for biological tissues in our Laboratory, including acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A imaging, tissue harmonic imaging by using the multi-phase-coded-pulse technique and super harmonic imaging. Theoretical analysis and experimental imaging of biological tissues by using these methods are presented.
