Measurements of Strain01:27

Measurements of Strain

Strain quantifies the deformation of a material under force, typically measured as normal strain, which represents the change in length when compared with the original length. Electrical strain gauges are used for enhanced accuracy. These devices consist of a conductive wire mounted on a paper backing that adheres to the material's surface. These gauges operate on the piezoresistive effect, where the wire's electrical resistance changes in response to mechanical deformation. The strain gauge...
Determination of Expected Frequency01:08

Determination of Expected Frequency

Suppose one wants to test independence between the two variables of a contingency table. The values in the table constitute the observed frequencies of the dataset. But how does one determine the expected frequency of the dataset? One of the important assumptions is that the two variables are independent, which means the variables do not influence each other. For independent variables, the statistical probability of any event involving both variables is calculated by multiplying the individual...
Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain01:26

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain

Linear systems are characterized by two main properties: superposition and homogeneity. Superposition allows the response to multiple inputs to be the sum of the responses to each individual input. Homogeneity ensures that scaling an input by a scalar results in the response being scaled by the same scalar.
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
IR Frequency Region: X–H Stretching01:24

IR Frequency Region: X–H Stretching

In IR spectroscopy, signals produced by the X−H bonds (such as C−H, O−H, or N−H) can be observed in the frequency range of  2700–4000 cm–1. The C−H stretching vibration forms sharp bands in the region 2850–3000 cm–1. The presence of the O−H stretching vibration leads to the forming of an absorption band in the frequency range 3650–3200 cm−1. At the same time, N−H stretching can be confirmed by absorption bands in the 3500–3100 cm−1 range. Even though both O−H and N−H bonds vibrate at a similar...
One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation01:24

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation01:10

Reconstruction of Signal using Interpolation

Signal processing techniques are essential for accurately converting continuous signals to digital formats and vice versa. When a continuous signal is sampled with a period T, the resulting sampled signal exhibits replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain, spaced at intervals equal to the sampling frequency. To handle this sampled signal, a zero-order hold method can be applied, which creates a piecewise constant signal by retaining each sample's value until the next sampling...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Ultrasound Technology

Background:

  • Ultrasound elastography estimates tissue strain, with harder tissues showing less strain.
  • High strain levels increase nonaxial tissue motion, leading to noisier strain images.
  • Envelope signals offer robustness to decorrelation but lower precision compared to RF signals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, robust strain estimation method for ultrasound elastography.
  • To improve strain image quality and precision, especially under high strain conditions.
  • To enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNRe) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRe) in elastographic images.

Main Methods:

  • Combining weighted RF cross-correlation and envelope cross-correlation functions.
  • Utilizing an applied strain-dependent piecewise-linear-weight for signal weighting.
  • Implementing nonlinear diffusion filtering for further strain image enhancement.
  • Validation using finite-element modeling (FEM) simulation phantoms and in vivo breast data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method significantly improves elastographic signal-to-noise ratio (SNRe) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRe).
  • Demonstrated effectiveness for applied strains up to 10%.
  • Achieved noticeable improvements in strain image quality, assessed by mean structural similarity (MSSIM) on in vivo data.

Conclusions:

  • The novel approach offers superior performance in robust strain estimation compared to existing methods.
  • The combination of weighted cross-correlation and diffusion filtering enhances elastographic image quality.
  • This technique holds promise for more precise and reliable ultrasound elastography applications.
