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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

535
Introduction:
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Conventional mammography poses risks from ionizing radiation and struggles with dense breast tissue.
  • Current ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) offers limited diagnostic value due to low image resolution.
  • Full-waveform inversion (FWI) promises high-resolution breast imaging but requires low frequencies often unavailable in USCT systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for artificially generating missing low frequencies in USCT data.
  • To improve the resolution and diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound breast imaging.
  • To enable the application of Full-waveform inversion (FWI) in USCT breast imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Designed, trained, and implemented a two-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN).
  • The CNN was used to artificially generate low frequencies (<1 MHz) in USCT data.
  • Evaluated FWI reconstructions using the enhanced USCT data.

Main Results:

  • The proposed CNN successfully generated missing low frequencies in USCT data.
  • FWI reconstructions using the enhanced data converged well.
  • The resulting images showed good agreement with X-ray CT and reflection ultrasound-tomography.

Conclusions:

  • The developed deep learning approach effectively enhances USCT data for improved breast imaging.
  • This method enables high-resolution FWI reconstructions from standard USCT acquisition systems.
  • The findings suggest a significant advancement in non-ionizing, high-resolution breast imaging techniques.
