Background:

Emboli classification is crucial for patient treatment selection.
Current ultrasonic (US) Doppler methods have limitations in emboli classification.
Radio-Frequency (RF) signals offer richer information than Doppler signals for emboli characterization.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze backscattered RF signals from emboli for classification.
To evaluate the efficacy of Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial-Basis Function Network (RBFN) models for emboli classification.
To determine optimal input parameters for neural network-based emboli classification.

Main Methods:

Utilized an Anthares scanner with RF access at 1.82MHz and Mechanical Indices (MI) of 0.2 and 0.6.

Employed a Doppler flow phantom with injected Sonovue microbubbles (gas emboli mimic) and tissue-mimicking material (solid emboli mimic).

Extracted amplitudes and bandwidths of fundamental and 2nd harmonic echoes, along with Gaussian coefficients of frequency bandwidths, as input features for MLP and RBFN models.

Main Results:

Gaussian coefficients of frequency bandwidths provided superior classification rates compared to amplitude and bandwidth parameters.
The MLP model achieved a classification rate of 89.28%.
The RBFN model demonstrated a higher classification rate of 92.85%.

Conclusions:

RF signal analysis combined with neural networks offers a promising approach for emboli classification.
The RBFN model shows high potential for accurate differentiation of solid and gaseous emboli.
This method could enhance clinical decision-making for patients with emboli.
