Lesion detectability in diagnostic ultrasound with short-lag spatial coherence imaging.
We demonstrate a novel imaging technique, named short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) imaging, which uses short distance (or lag) values of the coherence function of backscattered ultrasound to create images. Simulations using Field II are used to demonstrate the detection of lesions of varying sizes and contrasts with and without acoustical clutter in the backscattered data. B-mode and SLSC imagi...
متن کاملShort-lag spatial coherence imaging of cardiac ultrasound data: initial clinical results.
Short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) imaging is a novel beamforming technique that reduces acoustic clutter in ultrasound images. A clinical study was conducted to investigate clutter reduction and endocardial border detection in cardiac SLSC images. Individual channel echo data were acquired from the left ventricle of 14 volunteers, after informed consent and institutional review board approval....
متن کاملPartial spatial coherence in an excimer-laser lithographic imaging system
We have recently explored the Elementary Function method, previously presented by Wald et al (Proc. SPIE 59621G, 2005), and we have demonstrated under what circumstances this method can be used to reduce the propagation calculations of partially coherent light to two dimensions. In this paper, we examine the methods used to measure the spatial coherence of a light source in the literature. We p...
متن کاملIntegrated intravascular optical coherence tomography ultrasound imaging system.
We report on a dual-modality optical coherence tomography (OCT) ultrasound (US) system for intravascular imaging. To the best of our knowledge, we have developed the first integrated OCT-US probe that combines OCT optical components with an US transducer. The OCT optical components mainly consist of a single-mode fiber, a gradient index lens for light-beam focusing, and a right-angled prism for...
