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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

2.4K
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Ultrasound Technology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Automated Breast Volume Scanning (ABVS) is crucial for breast cancer detection.
  • Breathing artifacts can compromise image quality and diagnostic accuracy in ABVS.
  • Faster acquisition methods are needed to enable breath-hold examinations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of implementing plane-wave imaging in ABVS.
  • To determine if plane-wave imaging can accelerate the acquisition process without sacrificing image quality.
  • To assess the potential for reducing breathing artifacts through breath-hold ABVS examinations.

Main Methods:

  • Plane-wave imaging with unfocused transmission and compounding was compared to dynamic receive focusing with fixed transmit focus.
  • Two beamforming schemes, delay-and-sum and Stolt's f-k algorithm, were used for image reconstruction.
  • Image quality was assessed using contrast-to-noise ratio and lateral resolution in a calibration phantom.
  • 3-D volumes of a breast-mimicking phantom were scanned at various speeds (10-50 mm/s) to evaluate the impact of acquisition time.

Main Results:

  • Plane-wave compounding with Stolt's f-k algorithm achieved image quality comparable to focused transmission.
  • Higher signal-to-noise ratios were observed with plane-wave imaging across all depths.
  • Scanning speed variations (10-50 mm/s) showed only minor differences in contrast-to-noise ratio, indicating minimal impact on image quality.
  • The optimal plane-wave imaging parameters enabled breath-hold scanning with preserved image quality.

Conclusions:

  • Plane-wave imaging is a viable technique for enhancing ABVS acquisition speed.
  • Implementing plane-wave imaging allows for breath-hold ABVS examinations, effectively eliminating breathing artifacts.
  • This advancement promises to improve diagnostic accuracy by maintaining high image quality during faster scans.
