Cardiac imaging using a phased array ultrasound system. I. System design.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new two-dimensional, real-time, high resolution ultrasound imaging system is described. This system uses a linear array of ultrasound transducers to generate tomographic images of the heart in a circular sector format. Phased array techniques allow rapid steering of the ultrasound beam so that images are produced at the rate of 20 per second, or more, while maintaining a resolution of 2-4 mm throughout the field of view.

Cardiac Imaging Using a Phased Array Ultrasound System
Underlying the conception and design of this new imaging system were severai design considerations specifically directed toward its application in clinical cardiology. These include image rates commensurate with cardiac dynamics, a field of view sufficiently large to allow image formation of most or all of the left ventricle, and the utilization of a relatively small, hand-held transducer which...
متن کاملPhased array ultrasonic imaging using an improved beamforming based total focusing method for non destructive test
One of the novel ultrasonic phased array based scanning methods for ultrasonic imaging in non-destructive test is total focusing method (TFM). This method employs maximum available information of the phased array elements and leads to an improved defect detection accuracy compared to conventional scanning methods. Despite its high detection accuracy, TFM behaves weak in distinguishing the real ...

متن کاملUltrasonic Linear Array Medical Imaging System
Modern ultrasound scanners use large either linear or phased array of piezoelectric transducers. Design principle of electronic beamforming networks thus draws heavily from that of adaptive antenna array. However, the interaction of ultrasound with human tissue appears to be much more complicated than that of the electromagnetic wave. While with Xrays we get a shadow image of the system, with u...

An effective aperture approach is used as a tool for analysis and parameter optimization of mostly known ultrasound imaging systems phased array systems, compounding systems and synthetic aperture imaging systems. Both characteristics of an imaging system, the effective aperture function and the corresponding two-way radiation pattern, provide information about two the most important paramete...
