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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Signal Processing
  • Data Compression

Background:

  • Software-based beamformers enable high-performance, low-cost ultrasound systems.
  • High data transfer rates (Gbps) from analog front-end to software back-end pose a challenge.
  • Data compression is investigated to mitigate data transfer bottlenecks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate data compression techniques for reducing data transfer requirements in ultrasound array imaging.
  • To optimize the trade-off between compression ratio and beamforming quality.
  • To evaluate JPEG and JPEG2000 compression on raw RF and baseband amplitude data.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired acoustic data from line and cyst phantoms using 128- and 64-channel transducers.
  • Applied JPEG and JPEG2000 compression to 8x8 blocks or tiles of receive-channel data.
  • Compared compression applied to raw RF data versus baseband amplitude data.

Main Results:

  • Maximum RF data compression ratios achieved were 15 (JPEG) and 20 (JPEG2000) with <5 dB average error.
  • Baseband amplitude data compression yielded higher image quality than RF data compression.
  • With baseband amplitude compression, average error was <1 dB at compression ratios <8, despite lower overall compression ratios (<12).

Conclusions:

  • Data compression is a viable strategy to reduce data transfer requirements in software-based ultrasound beamforming.
  • Baseband amplitude compression offers a better balance between compression ratio and image quality compared to raw RF data compression.
  • Further optimization is possible for high-performance, cost-effective ultrasound imaging systems.
