However, electronic noise and spatial variations often affect BSC estimation, requiring spatial averaging inside a region of interest (ROI) that reduces spatial resolution compared to the B-mode images. This study explores 3D BSC estimation using a matrix probes to address this trade-off by allowing narrower ROIs without losing robustness. A comparison study between a 1024-element matrix probe (V8) and two linear probes (L12-5, L22-8) was made on homogeneous agar-based phantoms with Orgasol particles (5, 10, and <inline-formula> <tex-math>$20~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m). BSC was computed using the reference phantom method, and robustness was assessed via the BSC standard deviation across ROIs. Results showed that, despite the lower B-mode resolution and longer correlation length between A-lines, volumetric estimation with a matrix probe offered comparable accuracy while enhancing robustness and resolution in the BSC map compared to the standard 2D estimation. These results could be beneficial for the analysis of complex heterogeneous media.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"119-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11079648","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144680840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combined with Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM), the ultrafast detection of radiation-induced ND vaporization produces super-resolved vaporization maps that match the radiation field with sub-millimeter accuracy. However, in the presence of flow, discriminating between microbubbles moving in the field of view and radiation-induced vaporization events is not trivial. As an alternative, sparse acoustic signatures emitted by vaporizing NDs can be super-localized by passive ULM, i.e. P-ULM. In this work, we extend our previous 2D implementation of P-ULM to 3D, using a large aperture matrix array probe. We exposed perfluorobutane NDs to a proton beam and recorded their vaporization signatures during irradiation. The events were extracted from the radiofrequency channel data using a spatiotemporal filtering approach and super-localized by fitting the time differences of arrival between channels to a one-way time of flight model.

The wave physics underlying natural SWE remains incompletely understood. Therefore, we investigated the impact of wave excitation sources on 3 wave propagation aspects – wave amplitude (determined as wave acceleration magnitude), temporal wave width and speed. SWE was applied to 17 patients with aortic stenosis (AS), 13 AS patients that underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), 10 AS patients that underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 18 age-matched healthy volunteers (HV). Absolute wave acceleration was lower in AS, TAVI and AVR patients compared to HV (1.5±0.60 vs 2.8±1.1 m/s2; p=0.001; 1.6±0.78 vs 2.8±1.1 m/s2; p=0.010; 1.7±0.66 vs 2.8±1.1 m/s2; p=0.015). Wave acceleration amplitude (measured as negative peak acceleration of the tissue) correlated with wave speed (r=0.388; p=0.003), implying that absolute wave acceleration is smaller in a stiffer heart. Subgroup analysis showed that the correlation between wave peak acceleration and speed is less steep in AS patients vs. HV (slopes: 0.23 vs 0.47 s). This implies that stenotic valves generate a wave with a lower acceleration magnitude compared to native valves. Further, temporal wave width was lower in TAVI patients vs. HV (8.7±2.3 vs 12.5±3.0 ms; p=0.002) and there was no difference in wave speed after aortic valve closure (AVC) between the groups. To conclude, wave acceleration magnitude and width offer additional insights into SWE physics next to wave speed and should be verified in a larger cohort.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"114-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11027079","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144492373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The choice of sequence often involves trade-offs between resolution, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), frame rate, and harmonic imaging capabilities. However, the desirable mathematical property of orthogonality (i.e., absence of cross-talk) between transmits has generally received less attention. This property, often lacking, becomes particularly relevant for the recent REFoCUS (retrospective encoding for conventional ultrasound sequences) technique, which we in this work connect to the array signal processing technique called beamspace processing. Given an arbitrary transmit sequence, REFoCUS enables the recovery of signals from single-element transmissions (known as the multistatic dataset) thereby enhancing beamforming flexibility. In this context, the choice of transmit sequence influences the recovery process when using the intuitively appealing and computationally efficient adjoint-based method, which must be replaced by a regularized pseudoinverse for general applicability. In the current work, we derive the “closest” alternative to any chosen transmit sequence that makes the regularized and adjoint methods yield equal estimates of the multistatic dataset, and show via numerical experiments a reduction in beam and/or element cross-talk. The derivation is based on a matrix nearness problem of finding the nearest orthogonal (or unitary) matrix to the encoding matrix using singular value decomposition (SVD). The resulting transmit sequences offer a time-domain equivalent understanding of the regularized REFoCUS method, as well as a solution for optimizing the invertibility of ultrasound sequences.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"103-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11023854","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144264239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incorporating ultrasound guidance into this technique could reduce reliance on fluoroscopy, thereby avoiding ionizing radiation and improving procedural accuracy. However, the scaphoid’s position can shift as a result of hand movement during PSF, adding complexity to the procedure. Real-time ultrasound motion tracking of the scaphoid during PSF could simplify the intervention, which would necessitate a flexible transducer array to maintain contact during wrist motion. Our previous research proposed a transducer design with two parallel flexible 1D arrays, enabling simultaneous acquisition of two parallel images. This study focuses on transitioning from theoretical design to practical application by evaluating the performance of the custom array in terms of image quality using phantoms. We assessed image quality using the generalized contrast-to-noise ratio (gCNR) on a cyst phantom and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) on a wire phantom. Results demonstrated gCNR values above 0.67 and FWHM values below 0.70 mm across all sequences. These measurements fall within the acceptable range for the phantoms. Since the primary goal of the array is to track the scaphoid bone during surgery, requiring relatively high image quality, the values observed in this study are suitable for this application.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"43-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10965791","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143892434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the optical characteristics of an ultrasound gel lens were evaluated quantitatively by expanding the wavefront of the transmitted light in terms of the Zernike polynomial. It was possible to control the focal length of the lens by changing its surface profile through the acoustic radiation force generated by ultrasonic vibration. The effects of ultrasound excitation on spherical aberration, coma aberrations, and astigmatisms were investigated.

Specifically, reflected SH0 modes remain unaffected by symmetrically oriented defects while transitioning to SH1 mode in the presence of anti-symmetrically oriented defects. This prompts inquiry into the effects when defects lie between symmetric and anti-symmetric positions within the plate thickness. In order to quantify the impact of mode conversion resulting from diverse defect orientations, a thorough analysis has been conducted, and a methodology has been proposed to assess the defect’s position using mode conversion of shear horizontal (SH) guided waves. Particularly, as defects move from symmetric to anti-symmetric positions, the energy of the reflected wave is notably influenced by the defect’s orientation. This indicates that defects located close to symmetric orientations yield minimal reflected energy in the converted SH1 mode, whereas those approaching anti-symmetric orientations exhibit significant reflected energy in the converted SH1 mode. To precisely identify the defect’s position, an assessment of the Reflective Correlation Indexing (RCI) of the converted mode has been conducted. Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate these phenomena and validated with an experimental result using chevron EMAT.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"38-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10947017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
