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

453
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
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Quasi-static ultrasound elastography estimates tissue mechanical properties using time delay estimation (TDE).
    • Existing TDE methods often use L2-norm regularization, which can blur tissue boundaries and reduce contrast.
    • This limitation hinders accurate pathology detection in ultrasound elastography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel TDE algorithm, L1-SOUL, for improved ultrasound elastography.
    • To address limitations of L2-norm regularization in TDE by employing L1-norm.
    • To enhance the sharpness and visual contrast of estimated strain fields.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a new TDE algorithm, L1-SOUL, utilizing L1-norm of first- and second-order displacement derivatives for spatial continuity.
    • Handled L1-norm non-differentiability by smoothing the absolute value function.
    • Optimized the cost function iteratively.

    Main Results:

    • L1-SOUL significantly improved sharpness and visual contrast compared to GLUE, OVERWIND, and SOUL.
    • Achieved substantial contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) improvements over SOUL: 67.8% (simulated), 46.81% (phantom), and 117.35% (in vivo).
    • Demonstrated superior performance across simulated, phantom, and in vivo datasets.

    Conclusions:

    • L1-SOUL offers superior performance in ultrasound elastography TDE.
    • The L1-norm regularization effectively resolves issues associated with L2-norm, improving CNR and image quality.
    • The developed algorithm provides a promising advancement for detecting tissue pathologies with enhanced accuracy.
