Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Ultrasound Technology
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Ultrasound color flow imaging requires effective suppression of clutter signals from stationary or slow-moving tissues.
  • Inadequate clutter rejection leads to inaccurate blood flow velocity estimation and degraded image quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel clutter rejection scheme for ultrasound color flow imaging systems.
  • To enhance the accuracy of blood flow velocity estimation and overall imaging quality.

Main Methods:

  • A new clutter rejection scheme is proposed, involving down-mixing clutter signals to zero frequency.
  • Stationary echo cancellation is achieved by subtracting signals from two consecutive pulses.
  • The method is designed for easy implementation with low computational requirements and adaptability.
