Ultrasonography01:17

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...

Computed Tomography

9.3K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Acoustics

Background:

  • Linear arrays in diagnostic tools suffer from anisotropic resolution.
  • Compounding approaches can overcome these limitations.
  • Accurate calibration is crucial for high-resolution tomographic imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel calibration algorithm for 2D and 3D tomographic setups.
  • To determine the actual radial transducer array distance and its misalignment (tilt).
  • To improve image quality and spatial resolution in ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a recently developed calibration method and a novel algorithm.
  • Implemented a setup with a linear transducer and rotation/translation axis for multidimensional imaging.
  • Focused on increasing time-of-flight accuracy to achieve in-phase summation during reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • The proposed analytical calibration algorithms effectively prevented image artifacts.
  • Achieved a spatial resolution of 160 μm in 2D photoacoustic tomography.
  • Achieved a spatial resolution of 250 μm in 3D photoacoustic tomography.

Conclusions:

  • The novel calibration approach successfully addresses anisotropic resolution issues in linear arrays.
  • The method enables accurate determination of transducer array distance and tilt.
  • Validated results on phantoms and ex vivo mouse models demonstrate the approach's efficacy for advanced biomedical imaging.
