Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...
Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...
Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...
Atomic Force Microscopy01:08

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Acoustics

Background:

  • Vibro-acoustography uses ultrasound to image soft tissues by mapping acoustic responses.
  • Acoustic emissions generated at lower frequencies can cause image artifacts due to reverberation.
  • These artifacts manifest as intensity variations, potentially degrading image quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the physical origin of acoustic emission reverberation artifacts in vibro-acoustography.
  • To develop and evaluate a method for reducing these artifacts using multifrequency data compounding.
  • To improve the image quality of ultrasound-based soft tissue visualization.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized tonebursts to generate acoustic emissions at a primary frequency (Δf) and associated sidebands.
  • Formed multiple images by filtering acoustic emissions at Δf and sideband frequencies.
  • Employed coherent and incoherent compounding of multifrequency data to mitigate reverberation artifacts.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that compounding multifrequency data significantly reduces acoustic emission reverberation artifacts.
  • Experimental results from a urethane breast phantom validated the efficacy of the proposed method.
  • Qualitative and quantitative analyses confirmed the reduction in image intensity variations.

Conclusions:

  • Multifrequency data compounding is an effective strategy for reducing reverberation artifacts in vibro-acoustography.
  • This technique enhances the visualization of normal and abnormal soft tissues.
  • The study provides a theoretical basis and experimental validation for artifact reduction in ultrasound imaging.
