Partitioning source aperture with uniform large patches instead of simple sources, the modified summation scheme outperformed the conventional simple source based approach by both reducing the number of source-field interaction pairs and reusing the beam directivity of a single source patch. This modified scheme, along with Snell's law, could also facilitate wave transmission simulation in layered media. Using the fast method with patches of one wavelength dimension, the axial and lateral intensity distribution of a circular piston and a spherical cap transducer were calculated at least 20 times faster than did the conventional approach and retained numerical accuracy in near and far fields, with 2% and 5% root mean square error (RMSE) of their theoretical counterparts, respectively. Numerical examples of transmitted beam in a tissue-mimicking medium further demonstrated the efficiency and accuracy of the method. The modified scheme achieved at least 4 times computational time speed-up and had no more than 5% RMSE in comparison with the conventional approach. The fast field simulation method should be useful in transducer design and beam-forming investigation in therapeutic ultrasound applications and other scenarios where efficiency of transmitting acoustic field simulations is critical.","PeriodicalId":6355,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium Proceedings","volume":"26 1","pages":"2311-2314"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89890395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can facilitate visualization of abnormal cardiac anatomy and may serve as an important preprocessing step for automated cardiac strain imaging. Echocardiographic image sequences of the left ventricle of two healthy subjects and one piglet were obtained in radiofrequency (RF) format, directly after beamforming, in 3D live and in Full Volume mode. To optimize the distinction between blood and myocardium, 3D Adaptive Mean Squares (AMS) filtering was performed on the demodulated rf-data. Earlier work on 2D data revealed that this filter reduces speckle noise, while preserving the sharpness of edges between various structures. In this study a 3D deformable model based on a simplex mesh was then used to segment the endocardial surface. The model deforms under influence of internal (regularization) and external (data) forces and is initialized by placing a spherical surface model in the left ventricle. A gradient and a speed force were included in the external force of the model. Weighting factors of internal, gradient and speed forces were interactively set to balance data fitting and mesh regularity. Initial results show that segmentation of the endocardial surface using 3D deformable simplex meshes in combination with adaptive filtering is feasible. The speed force led to improved segmentation in all datasets as the deformable model was less dependent on initialization. The method is promising for application to nonstandard heart geometries without having to impose strong shape constraints. To prevent the model from leaking into the left atrium or crossing areas with weak boundary information, the use of attractor forces and weak shape constraints could be helpful.","PeriodicalId":6355,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium Proceedings","volume":"51 1","pages":"1468-1471"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76640626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators on quartz substrates are suited for HF sensing because the analyte can react directly with the sensor substrate to produce H2O and the volatile compound SiF4, which evaporates from the surface. This work shows evidence that during gas phase HF exposure to a generalized SAW (GSAW) resonator and a pure shear horizontal SAW (SHSAW) resonator, the dominant sensing mechanism is the detection of a condensed liquid layer on the substrate surface, rather than material removal via SiF4 desorption. The GSAW and SHSAW, fabricated on ST-X and ST-900 quartz, respectively, have been simultaneously exposed to HF through a low-volume (~1 cm ) test cell. The devices' responses were monitored, with data collected every minute. An automated gas delivery system was used to vary HF concentrations from 1-18 ppm, while maintaining a constant flow rate of 100 seem. While both resonators are sensitive to the formation of a condensed liquid layer, the frequency shift of the SHSAW resonator, due to this effect, is up to seven times greater than that of the GSAW device for the HF concentrations investigated.","PeriodicalId":6355,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium Proceedings","volume":"113 1","pages":"480-483"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75334087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing the previously-developed efficient front-end algorithms and the continuing advances in solid state devices, we developed a hybrid programmable architecture to support core ultrasound signal processing. With the advent of new- generation digital signal processors (DSPs) (e.g., Texas Instruments' TMS320C6455 and IBM's Cell Broadband Engine), this hybrid field programmable gate array (FPGA)- DSP architecture can evolve towards a single-chip solution after overcoming the following challenges: (a) inefficient data access during dynamic focusing and (b) multiple, parallel data- transfer paths from ADCs. In this paper, we present a new single-DSP architecture, where an advanced DSP handles all the front- and back-end processing in software. To enable this new architecture, we have (a) developed a new stepwise dynamic focusing method, where the same delay curve is utilized for a group of samples along the depth direction and (b) investigated use of serial interfaces for ADC to DSP data transfer. It was found that the TMS320C6455 can meet the requirements of a 32-channel B-mode imaging system using 56.6% and 85.4% of the computing and serial I/O resources of the DSP, respectively. These results indicate that a single DSP chip solution can meet the hardware requirements for lower-end medical ultrasound systems.","PeriodicalId":6355,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium Proceedings","volume":"4 1","pages":"1563-1566"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75828943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two different correction schemes (a pure time-delay correction and a time-delay and amplitude correction) are employed along with estimation based on either the received first- or second-harmonic frequency. An aberrating body wall is implemented as a 20 mm delay-screen body wall using eight screens, and is tuned to match human abdominal wall characteristics. The transmit pressure of the first harmonic is set to not succeed a mechanical index of 1.1 for the uncorrected case and a pure time-delay correction. Using a time-delay and amplitude correction, the total acoustic energy transmitted is equal to that of the uncorrected case. The total amount of generated second-harmonic energy increases with approximately 1 dB for a pure time-delay correction and about 2 dB for a time-delay and amplitude correction, both estimated at the received first-harmonic frequency. The general side-lobe level of the first- and second-harmonic focal point beam profile averaged over circles around the transducer axis is lowered with 2-10 dB for both correction schemes relative to the uncorrected case.","PeriodicalId":6355,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium Proceedings","volume":"69 1","pages":"1537-1540"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74549950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
