Crawling Waves Speed Estimation Based on the Dominant Component Analysis Paradigm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method for estimating the shear wave speed from crawling waves based on the amplitude modulation-frequency modulation model is proposed. Our method consists of a two-step approach for estimating the stiffness parameter at the central region of the material of interest. First, narrowband signals are isolated in the time dimension to recover the locally strongest component and to reject distortions from the ultrasound data. Then, the shear wave speed is computed by the dominant component analysis approach and its spatial instantaneous frequency is estimated by the discrete quasi-eigenfunction approximations method. Experimental results on phantoms with different compositions and operating frequencies show coherent speed estimations and accurate inclusion locations.

Integration of crawling waves in an ultrasound imaging system. Part 2: signal processing and applications.
This paper introduces methods to generate crawling wave interference patterns from the displacement fields generated from radiation force pushes on a GE Logiq 9 scanner. The same transducer and system provides both the pushing pulses to generate the shear waves and the tracking pulses to measure the displacements. Acoustic power and system limitations result in largely impulsive displacement fi...
متن کاملSonoelastographic imaging of interference patterns for estimation of shear velocity distribution in biomaterials.
The authors have recently demonstrated the shear wave interference patterns created by two coherent vibration sources imaged with the vibration sonoelastography technique. If the two sources vibrate at slightly different frequencies omega and omega+deltaomega, respectively, the interference patterns move at an apparent velocity of (deltaomega/2omega)upsilon(shear), where upsilon(shear) is the s...
متن کاملShear wave speed and dispersion measurements using crawling wave chirps.
This article demonstrates the measurement of shear wave speed and shear speed dispersion of biomaterials using a chirp signal that launches waves over a range of frequencies. A biomaterial is vibrated by two vibration sources that generate shear waves inside the medium, which is scanned by an ultrasound imaging system. Doppler processing of the acquired signal produces an image of the square of...
متن کاملShear Wave Imaging and Tissue Characterization Using Vibration Elastographic Techniques
Certain diseases produce changes in the elastic properties of soft tissues. Conventional imaging modalities in some cases have poor performance in diagnosing these types of diseases. To overcome this problem, elastographic imaging techniques that focus on evaluating the elastic properties of tissues, i.e., tissue stiffness, have been developed in the past three decades. Soft tissues, however, i...

This paper presents a new algorithm based on Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) and its stability analysis for sensorless control of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). The reference and adjustable models of the suggested observer are based on the active power of the machine. A hysteresis block is used in the structure of the adaptation mechanism, and the stability analysis is performe...
