Ultrasonography

8.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Acoustics

Background:

  • Ultrasonic tomography is crucial for biological tissue characterization.
  • High-frequency ultrasound ( > 1 MHz) faces limitations due to attenuation.
  • Low-frequency ultrasound (0.3-0.5 MHz) offers reduced attenuation and higher data precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of low-frequency ultrasonic diffraction tomography for biological tissue characterization.
  • To explore transmission and reflection schemes in 2D and 3D tomography.
  • To determine the performance limits of current ultrasonic tomography devices for breast cancer diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized low-frequency (0.3-0.5 MHz) ultrasonic diffraction tomography.
  • Treated inverse tomography problems as coefficient inverse problems for the wave equation.
  • Employed time-domain algorithms and GPU clusters for solving inverse problems.

Main Results:

  • Achieved spatial resolution of approximately 2-3mm at a 5mm wavelength.
  • Demonstrated feasibility with a stationary 3D scheme using fixed sources.
  • Explored both 2D and 3D, transmission and reflection tomography schemes.

Conclusions:

  • Low-frequency ultrasonic tomography is a viable technique for high-precision biological tissue analysis.
  • The method shows promise for enhancing breast cancer diagnostic capabilities.
  • Performance limits were assessed for stationary 3D ultrasonic tomography systems.
