Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

8.2K
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...

UV–Vis Spectrometers01:14

UV–Vis Spectrometers

4.1K
The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Diagnostic Ultrasound

    Background:

    • Attenuation coefficient slope (ACS) is crucial for tissue characterization and diagnostic ultrasound.
    • Estimating ACS complements B-mode imaging and aids in determining other ultrasound parameters.
    • Existing spectral-based techniques face a precision-data block size tradeoff, limiting practical use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and detail the regularized spectral-log difference (RSLD) technique.
    • To evaluate the RSLD technique's performance using simulations and experimental data.
    • To assess RSLD's impact on the precision-accuracy tradeoff in ACS estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation and detailed description of the regularized spectral-log difference (RSLD) method.
    • Evaluation through simulations, physical phantom experiments, ex vivo, and in vivo studies.
    • Analysis of estimation variance, accuracy, and contrast-to-noise ratio with varying data block sizes.

    Main Results:

    • RSLD significantly reduced estimation variance, especially with small data blocks (e.g., fivefold reduction in standard deviation).
    • Precision improvements were achieved without substantial sacrifice in estimation accuracy.
    • Contrast-to-noise ratio improved by an order of magnitude for small data blocks, enhancing inclusion differentiation.

    Conclusions:

    • The RSLD technique offers an improved balance between spatial resolution and estimation precision for ACS imaging.
    • RSLD enhances the diagnostic utility of ultrasound by enabling more precise tissue characterization.
    • This method overcomes limitations of traditional spectral-log difference techniques, particularly in scenarios requiring small data blocks.
