    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Imaging
    • Acoustics

    Background:

    • Skull bone imaging presents challenges due to signal attenuation and variable sound speed.
    • Accurate 3-D profile extraction is crucial for medical applications.
    • Existing ultrasound methods struggle with skull's complex acoustic properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a new ultrasound method for precise 3-D human skull bone profile extraction.
    • To simultaneously estimate skull bone thickness and the speed of sound (SOS).
    • To improve accuracy and overcome limitations of current ultrasound techniques for skull imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a custom-designed ultrasound matrix transducer in Pulse-Echo mode.
    • Employed multi-lag phase delay (MLPD) and modified space alternating generalized expectation maximization (SAGE) algorithms to estimate echo arrival times.
    • Integrated an adaptive sound speed estimation algorithm for accurate SOS and bone thickness calculation.

    Main Results:

    • Modified SAGE algorithm achieved 4.21% accuracy in bone thickness measurement, superior to MLPD (7.93%), autocorrelation (14.44%), and cross-correlation (10.75%).
    • Bland-Altman analysis showed modified SAGE had narrow limits of agreement (-0.35 to 0.44 mm).
    • No systematic errors related to bone thickness were observed with the modified SAGE method.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed ultrasound method, particularly using modified SAGE with adaptive SOS estimation, enables accurate and precise 3-D skull bone profile extraction.
    • This technique overcomes significant challenges posed by skull's acoustic properties.
    • Offers a promising advancement for non-invasive skull imaging and analysis.
