Aperture size impacts wavefront distortion correction, with larger apertures generally reducing errors. The multilayer phase-screen compensation (MPSC) method outperforms exact phase compensation (EPC) in high aberration scenarios for medical ultrasound imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ultrasound Imaging
  • Wavefront Distortion Correction
  • Acoustic Metamaterials

Background:

  • Wavefront distortion in medical ultrasound imaging degrades image quality.
  • Accurate correction of these distortions is crucial for enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
  • Existing methods face challenges with complex, multilayered distorting media.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of aperture size on wavefront distortion correction.
  • To compare the performance of different correction methods: time-shift compensation (TSC), backpropagation followed by time-shift compensation (BP+TSC), and multilayer phase-screen compensation (MPSC).
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of these methods under varying aberration levels and aperture sizes.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of L2 error as a function of aperture size.

  • Numerical simulations using a multilayer phase-screen model based on a 2-D abdominal slice.
  • Evaluation of correction methods (TSC, BP+TSC, MPSC) using L2 error and point spread functions for three aperture sizes (14.24 mm, 28.48 mm, 56.96 mm).

    • Main Results:

    • Theoretical analysis indicates L2 error decreases with increasing aperture size for exact phase compensation (EPC), though edge errors persist.
    • Numerical results show correction method performance is robust against aperture size variations.
    • MPSC significantly outperforms EPC in suppressing L2 error and sidelobes under high aberration conditions, while performing comparably under low aberration.

    Conclusions:

    • Finite aperture size fundamentally limits the quality of wavefront correction in medical ultrasound systems.
    • The MPSC method offers superior performance over EPC for significant aberrations.
    • Knowledge of the exact distorting medium structure may not be essential for optimal correction due to aperture size limitations.
