Real-time adaptive imaging relies on aberrator stability for accurate phase correction. This study quantifies spatial and temporal stability in breast, liver, and thyroid tissues, crucial for imaging system performance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Ultrasound technology

Background:

  • Real-time adaptive imaging systems utilize near-field phase correction for simplicity and compatibility.
  • Aberrator stability is critical, defining spatial and temporal limits for valid phase estimates in adaptive imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the spatial and temporal stability of clinically measured aberrations in breast, liver, and thyroid tissues.
  • To characterize the impact of noise, motion, and target nonuniformity on aberrator stability.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-correlations were used to estimate azimuthal and axial isoplanatic patch sizes for aberrations.
  • Temporal stability was assessed at 80% correlation for different tissue types.
  • Simulations and phantom experiments were conducted to analyze noise, motion, and nonuniformity effects.

Main Results:

  • Azimuthal isoplanatic patch sizes at 80% correlation were 0.44 mm (breast), 0.28 mm (liver), and 0.20 mm (thyroid).
  • Axial isoplanatic patch sizes at 80% correlation were 1.26 mm (breast), 0.76 mm (liver), and 1.80 mm (thyroid).
  • Temporal stability at 80% correlation exceeded 1.5 seconds for breast and thyroid, and 0.65 seconds for liver.

Conclusions:

  • Aberrator stability varies significantly across different tissues, impacting adaptive imaging system design.
  • Understanding these stability parameters is essential for optimizing spatial sampling and temporal correction windows.
  • The study provides crucial data for developing more robust and accurate real-time adaptive imaging techniques.
