Calculation of Positron Distribution in the Presence of a Uniform Magnetic Field for the Improvement of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging Using GEANT4 Toolkit
Introduction Range and diffusion of positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals are important parameters for image resolution in positron emission tomography (PET). In this study, GEANT4 toolkit was applied to study positron diffusion in soft tissues with and without a magnetic field for six commonly used isotopes in PET imaging including 11C, 13N, 15O, 18F, 68Ga, and 82Rb. Materials and Methods GEA...
متن کاملParallel Beamformation Method to Enhance Ultrasound Images
Contrast resolution and detail resolution are two important parameters in ultrasound imaging. This paper presents a new method to enhance these parameters, simultaneously. A parallel auxiliary beamformer has been employed whose weightings are such that an estimation of the leaked signal through the main beamformer is obtained. Then the output of main beamformer is modified according to the ...
متن کاملAdaptive beamforming in row-column addressed arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging
In recent years, to reduce the complexity of implementation, the use of 2D arrays with restricted row-column addressing has been considered for 3D ultrasound imaging. In this paper, two methods of adaptive beamforming based on the minimum variance method are represented in such a way that the computational load is much less than using the full adaptive beamforming method. In both proposed metho...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Different Wavelets for Enhancing Medical Ultrasound Images
Ultrasound imaging is one of the popular imaging modalities used frequently by medical practitioners for diagnosis of diseases. But the problem with this technique is its low-resolution and the presence of speckle noise. This makes it difficult for the medical practitioners in studying and properly diagnosing the disease. In the past, researchers have enhanced the medical ultrasound images usin...
متن کاملFrequency Smoothed Robust Capon Beamformer Applied to Medical Ultrasound Imaging
Recently, adaptive array beamforming has been applied to medical ultrasound imaging and achieved promising performance improvement. However, the current robust Capon beamformer with spatial smoothing (RCB-SS) is implemented in the time domain, which does not fully utilise the large bandwidth of ultrasound signals and spatial smoothing reduces the effective aperture. In this dissertation, we pro...
