Plane Electromagnetic Waves I01:30

Plane Electromagnetic Waves I

5.1K
The existence of combined electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic (EM) waves is the most significant prediction of Maxwell's equations. As Maxwell's equations hold in free space, the predicted electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for their propagation. An EM wave comprises an electric field, defined as the force per charge on a stationary charge, and a magnetic field, which is the force per charge on a moving charge.
The EM field is assumed to be a...

Plane Electromagnetic Waves II

4.2K
Consider a plane wavefront traveling in position x-direction with a constant speed. This wavefront can be utilized to obtain the relationship between electric and magnetic fields with the help of Faraday's law.

The Wave Nature of Light

61.5K
The nature of light has been a subject of inquiry since antiquity. In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton performed experiments with lenses and prisms and was able to demonstrate that white light consists of the individual colors of the rainbow combined together. Newton explained his optics findings in terms of a "corpuscular" view of light, in which light was composed of streams of extremely tiny particles traveling at high speeds according to Newton's laws of motion.

Wave Parameters

The simplest mechanical waves are associated with simple harmonic motion and repeat themselves for several cycles. These simple harmonic waves can be modeled using a combination of sine and cosine functions. Consider a simplified surface water wave that moves across the water's surface. Unlike complex ocean waves, in surface water waves, water moves vertically, oscillating up and down, whereas the disturbance of the wave moves horizontally through the medium. If a seagull is floating on the...

Reflection of Waves01:07

Reflection of Waves

4.6K
When a wave travels from one medium to another, it gets reflected at the boundary of the second medium. A common example of this is when a person yells at a distance from a cliff and hears the echo of their voice. The sound waves (longitudinal waves) traveling in the air are reflected from the bounding cliff. Similarly, flipping one end of a string whose other end is tied to a wall causes a pulse (transverse wave) to travel through the string, which gets reflected upon reaching the wall. In...

Half wave rectifier01:20

Half wave rectifier

2.5K
A half-wave rectifier is a fundamental circuit in electronics, designed to convert alternating current (AC) voltage into a unidirectional voltage. It utilizes the simplest form of diode rectification, where the circuit comprises a single diode in series with a load resistor and an AC power source.

    Summary

    Plane-wave imaging improves single-track location shear wave elasticity imaging (STL-SWEI) quality. The novel plane-wave STL-SWEI (pSTL-SWEI) technique enhances elastographic signal-to-noise ratio, reducing depth dependence for better imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Ultrasound Elastography
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Single-track location shear wave elasticity imaging (STL-SWEI) offers speckle bias immunity but suffers from depth-dependent image quality.
    • Addressing depth dependence is crucial for improving STL-SWEI's clinical applicability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if plane-wave imaging can mitigate the depth dependence of STL-SWEI.
    • To introduce and evaluate a novel technique: plane-wave STL-SWEI (pSTL-SWEI).

    Main Methods:

    • Development of the plane-wave STL-SWEI (pSTL-SWEI) technique.
    • Evaluation using phantom studies and excised murine pancreatic tumors.
    • Comparison of pSTL-SWEI with conventional STL-SWEI.

    Main Results:

    • pSTL-SWEI demonstrated similar mean shear wave speeds compared to STL-SWEI.
    • Significant improvement in elastographic signal-to-noise ratio (SNRe) with pSTL-SWEI (39.9%-55.1% increase).
    • Slight reduction in spatial resolution (2.7%-12.1%) but enhanced contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRe) with pSTL-SWEI.

    Conclusions:

    • pSTL-SWEI effectively reduces depth dependence in STL-SWEI.
    • The enhanced SNRe and CNRe of pSTL-SWEI show significant potential for improved diagnostic accuracy in ultrasound elastography.
    • pSTL-SWEI offers a promising advancement for imaging tissue stiffness, particularly in challenging scenarios.
