Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

4.6K
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...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.6K
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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

308
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:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Acoustics
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Clinical adoption of ultrasound tomography (UST) is hindered by the need for faster imaging methods and more accessible hardware.
    • Existing UST systems often lack widespread availability, limiting experimental validation of novel measurement configurations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and manufacture a low-cost, open-source 256-element transducer ring array for ultrasound tomography.
    • To evaluate the acoustic performance and suitability of the developed system for advanced UST imaging research.

    Main Methods:

    • Rapid prototyping and novel manufacturing techniques were employed to create the open-source transducer ring array.
    • Acoustic performance was characterized using hydrophone scans and watershot data, including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), opening angle, beamwidth, and bandwidth.
    • Phantom experiments were conducted to validate image reconstruction capabilities.

    Main Results:

    • The open-UST system was manufactured for approximately £2k, featuring a 256-element transducer ring array.
    • Nominal acoustic performance metrics (61.2 dB SNR, 55.4° opening angle, 10.2 mm beamwidth, 54% bandwidth) were comparable to existing UST systems.
    • Low interelement variation (<10%) simplifies image reconstruction by allowing identical element modeling.
    • Successful reconstruction of phantom data demonstrated the system's imaging capability.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed open-UST system is accessible and cost-effective, promoting wider research participation.
    • The system's performance is suitable for state-of-the-art full-waveform-inversion image reconstruction, supporting advancements in UST.
    • This open-source hardware facilitates experimental validation and accelerates the clinical adoption of ultrasound tomography.
