Clutter Rejection for Doppler Ultrasound Based on Blind Source Separation
Doppler ultrasound is widely used diagnostic tool for measuring and detecting blood flow. To get a Doppler ultrasound spectrum image with a good quality, the clutter signals generated from stationary and slowly moving tissue must be removed completely. Without enough clutter rejection, low velocity blood flow cannot be measured, and estimates of higher velocities will have a large bias. In most...
متن کاملDiagnosis of acute rejection with cardiac ultrasound.
ACUTE rejection (AR) following heart transplantation (HTX) is characterized histologically by patchy or diffuse cellular infiltrates, interstitial oedema, and, if AR is more severe, by myocyte necrosis and hemorrhage. Main criterion for the usefulness of any diagnostic tool is its capability to rapidly and reliably detect AR at the latest stage when intensified immunosuppression is required. Fo...
متن کاملUltrasound Frontiers: 3D Doppler, Automatic Fetal Biometry, Handheld Ultrasound
Ultrasound frontiers are infinitive and some recent developments are discussed in this review. The author aims to provide the reader with the definition of 3D Doppler and its potential clinical applications. It also describes automatic fetal biometry and discusses clinical potentials of handheld ultrasound. The rapid development of these new sonographic techniques will continue to enlarge the s...
متن کاملNonparametric clutter rejection in Doppler ultrasound using principal component analysis
We propose a new nonparametric technique for clutter rejection. We consider the Doppler data sampled using a sufficiently large dynamic range to allow for the clutter rejection to be implemented on the digital side. The Doppler signal is modeled as the summation of the true velocity signal, a clutter component, and a random noise component. To simplify the analysis, the first two components are...
متن کاملTesting of Doppler Ultrasound Systems
Blood and tissue velocities are measured and analyzed in cardiac, vascular, and other applications of diagnostic ultrasound. Errors in system performance might give invalid measurements. We developed two moving string test targets and a rotating cylinder phantom (Doppler phantoms) to characterize Doppler ultrasound systems. These phantoms were initially used to measure such variables as sample ...
