چکیده
The contrast medical imaging is an active research domain in which several coding techniques of the transmit have been proposed to increase the contrast. In this paper, we focus on the continuous coding of the Ultrasound transmits, such as “chirp” sequences, and their insonation on the medium under exploration. We empirically show that there are particular values for the frequency parameters of the frequency coded excitation “chirp” which optimize the contrast in contrast enhanced ultrasound images. We also show that in the nonlinear response of micro-bubbles the modulation indices are no longer symmetrical.

متن کاملAutomatic Optimization of Chirp Setting Parameters in Medical Ultrasound Contrast Imaging
Medical ultrasound contrast imaging is a powerful modality undergoing successive developments in the last decade to date. Lately, pulse inversion has been used in both ultrasound tissue harmonic and contrast imaging. However, there was a tradeoff between resolution and penetration. Chirp excitations partially solved the tradeoff, but the chirp setting parameters were not optimized. The present ...

Interoduction: Ultrasound images have often low contrast due to small differences in acoustic impedance between different tissues. Air or gas microbubbles that surrounded by membrane are most of the contrast agents in ultrasound imaging. Problems such as instability in sound pressure and inability in penetrating from the blood vessel into body tissues limited the use of microbubbles into the in...
