Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

194
IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Computed Tomography

7.7K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Acoustics

Background:

  • Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) commonly uses delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming.
  • DAS suffers from high sidelobes and low image quality.
  • Conventional coherence factor (CF) improves sidelobes but offers limited resolution enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel high-resolution coherence factor (HRCF) weighting technique for PAI.
  • To enhance image resolution and reduce sidelobes in PAI reconstructions.
  • To improve upon existing beamforming methods like DAS and minimum variance (MV).

Main Methods:

  • Proposed HRCF weighting technique, replacing DAS with MV in the conventional CF formula.
  • Numerical simulations and experimental validation of the HRCF method.
  • Quantitative comparison with DAS+CF and MV+CF techniques.

Main Results:

  • HRCF demonstrated superior performance in both numerical and experimental studies.
  • At 40 mm depth, HRCF improved full-width-half-maximum by 91% (vs. DAS+CF) and 15% (vs. MV+CF).
  • HRCF increased signal-to-noise ratio by 40% (vs. DAS+CF) and 14% (vs. MV+CF).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed HRCF method effectively achieves high resolution in PAI.
  • HRCF significantly reduces sidelobe levels in reconstructed PAI images.
  • This technique offers a substantial improvement for PAI quality and diagnostic capabilities.
