Medical Imaging Analysis Medical Imaging System B-mode Image Fundamentals Ultrasonic Array Transducers Beamformation Using Arrays Focusing the ultrasound energy Delay and weighted sum Fixed focusing on transmit and dynamic focusing on receive The beam quality is poor in the out of transmit focused region Focusing Resolution ? Point Spread Function (PSF) Contrast ? Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) Point Spread Function 點的影像仍是點嗎? Image of a point is point spread function (PSF). 和電路學的 impulse response相同觀念。 Sample Image Range Beam Plots Speckle Left: T甲狀腺，J為頸靜脈，C為頸動脈 Right: RV右心室，LV左心室 Speckle granular noise common in all phase sensitive imaging system Speckle Assumption ai: Gaussian distribution (central limit theorem, N ? ~10) ?i: uniform distribution between ? and - ? (scatterers in the sample volume are randomly located) I: intensity, exponential distribution E: amplitude, Rayleigh distribution US image is usually displayed on log scale CNR Contrast to noise ratio (CNR) determines the contrast resolution of a image Intensity can be viewed as signal and standard deviation can be viewed as noise Work HW1 Estimate PSF size, speckle std (dB, theoretical value ~ 4.34 dB), speckle histogram (back to linear) for both single zone tx focusing and multi-zone tx focusing and make a discussion about the results. HW 2 Repeat 1. under a different B-mode gain, and compare the results with those of 1. HW 3 Estimate CNRs in the focused region and in the out of focused region.
