This study introduces a novel method for detecting microemboli in blood flow using ultrasound signals. The technique leverages chaotic signal characteristics and neural networks, achieving high detection accuracy for improved cerebrovascular disease management.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Ultrasound
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Microemboli detection is crucial for managing cerebrovascular diseases.
  • Ultrasound (US) backscattered signals from blood exhibit chaotic behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new method for microemboli detection and characterization.
  • To utilize the deterministic characteristics of chaotic ultrasound signals for improved detection.

Main Methods:

  • A nonlinear model of chaotic ultrasound backscatter signals was developed.
  • Prediction error and signal coherence were used as detection criteria.
  • A feed-forward neural network with error back-propagation was implemented.
  • Performance was assessed using a vascular flow phantom with artificial emboli.
