Ultrasound Scattering Anisotropy Visualization With Ultrasound Tomography
Abstract:
An ultrasound tomography (UST) system was used to image ultrasound scattering anisotropy in phantom experiments. This anisotropy was visualized as vector fields with arrows corresponding to the principal scattering angle of each pixel. UST with a ring-array system allows for a large range of transmit and receive angle combinations, producing real-time acquisition anisotropy maps unachievable with previous single element and linear array studies. Resolution was measured to be [Formula: see text], averaged over seven different placements within the transducer's field-of-view. Vector field images of iron filings aligned to a magnetic field were reconstructed and characterized for validation.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS):
Computed Tomography
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...
Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
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...
