[Ultrasound Simulation of Carotid Artery Plaque and System Implementation]
Abstract:
A method of ultrasonic simulation based on the FIELD II software platform for carotid artery plaque was proposed according to the analysis for geometrical shape,tissue characteristics and acoustic properties of carotid artery plaques in clinic,and then a simulation system was developed by using the MATLAB graphical user interface(GUI).In the simulation and development,a three-dimensional geometric model of blood vessel with plaques was set up by using the metaball implicit surface technique,and a tissue model was established based on the scatterers with spatial position of gamma random distribution.Comparison of the statistical and geometrical characteristics from simulated ultrasound B-mode images with those based on clinical ones and preset values,the results fully demonstrated the effectiveness of the simulation methods and system.

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...
