Abstract:
Compared with medical ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging system, coded excitation system has the potential of higher SNR and deeper penetration depth. In this paper, the basic principle of coded excitation is introduced. Through acoustic intensity analysis, the maximum improvement of SNR of ultrasonic image with coded excitation is deduced. Then, guide lines to choose codes in ultrasonic imaging are introduced. Some codes, such as white noise, pseudo-random code, Golay code, Chirp and pseudo-chirp are described in details. At last, the applications of ultrasonic coded excitation in B-mode imaging, Doppler flow measurement, B-flow imaging and harmonics imaging are described.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
