Convergence of Fourier Series

534
The Fourier series is a powerful mathematical tool for representing periodic signals as an infinite sum of complex exponentials. In practice, this infinite series is truncated to a finite number of terms, yielding a partial sum. This truncation makes the approximation of the signal feasible but introduces certain challenges, particularly near discontinuities, known as the Gibbs phenomenon.
The Gibbs phenomenon refers to the persistent oscillations and overshoots that occur near discontinuities...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Ultrasonic elastography is crucial for tissue characterization.
  • Accurate strain and displacement estimation are vital for reliable elastographic analysis.
  • Existing methods like cross-correlation (CC) and scale-invariant keypoints tracking (SIKT) have limitations in precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel strain estimator for ultrasonic elastography.
  • To achieve sub-sample accuracy in displacement and strain estimation.
  • To improve the performance metrics of elastographic analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A new strain estimator utilizing extrema tracking based on Fourier Series expansion (ETBFS) is proposed.
  • Extrema are identified by solving the first-order derivative of the Fourier Series expansion.
  • Sub-sample accuracy is achieved by locating extrema between sampling points without explicit interpolation.
  • Displacements and strains are estimated by matching extrema in pre- and post-compressed radio frequency (RF) signals.

Main Results:

  • The ETBFS method demonstrated more accurate displacement estimation compared to standard CC and SIKT algorithms in simulation phantom experiments.
  • Performance analysis showed improvements in elastographic signal-to-noise ratio (SNRe) and elastographic contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRe).
  • The real-versus-estimated strain error (RESE) indicated enhanced accuracy with the ETBFS method.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed ETBFS method offers superior accuracy for displacement and strain estimation in ultrasonic elastography.
  • This technique improves the dynamic range and sensitivity of strain filtering.
  • ETBFS presents a promising advancement for quantitative ultrasonic elastography.
