However, achieving high image quality and real-time performance despite the significant resource constraints of mobile devices is essential for clinical adoption. Fourier-Based Imaging (FBI) is emerging as an alternative to the simple and well established delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming, as it promises improved image quality albeit higher computational effort. This work investigates an efficient implementation of FBI and evaluates the performance on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 system-on-chip (SoC) CPU and GPU using a synthetic radiofrequency (RF) ultrasound dataset. CPU profiling identified the real-to-complex (r2c) Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) as a primary bottleneck, with optimizations reducing runtime from 2993 ms to 892 ms per frame. GPU acceleration via the clFFT library and a custom OpenCL kernel for k-space processing, enhanced through kernel fusion, constant memory usage, and instruction-level tuning, further reduced runtime to 388 ms, a 2.86x speed-up over the optimized CPU version. Although 30 fps real-time performance was not reached under these imaging parameters (2.58 fps), reducing the number of transmitters increased throughput to approximately 6 fps at the expense of image fidelity. These results demonstrate the mobile GPU’s potential for FBI and suggest that real-time execution on next-generation SoCs is within reach.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"176-180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11176040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145352121","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}

Carotid plaque components are delineated noninvasively by Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)-derived Variance of Acceleration, evaluated as its decadic log (log(VoA)). To date, this log(VoA) parameter has been calculated by isolating the variance in ARFI-induced displacement profiles using the second-order time derivative (SOTD), a high-pass filtering operation. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of the SOTD filter to various other filtering methods in application to delineating human carotid plaque components, in vivo. Specifically, the SOTD filter was compared to Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Finite Impulse Response (FIR), Infinite Impulse Response (IIR), and mean-center spatial (MCS) filters. Filter performances were evaluated in terms of the resulting log(VoA) generalized contrast-to-noise ratio (gCNR) for distinguishing plaque features in human carotid plaques, in vivo, which were validated by spatially aligned histology. Results indicated that the SOTD filter consistently provided the highest gCNR for most plaque components, whereas the performances yielded by the other filters were more variable. The study demonstrated that the SOTD filter remains the preferred method for log(VoA) calculation due to its effectiveness for delineating carotid plaque features.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"181-189"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11162608","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145352189","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}

PDL therapy, however, has limited treatment depth, and frequently results in suboptimal therapeutic outcomes when used to treat deep cutaneous blood vessels. We have developed photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT), a hybrid cavitation-based anti-vascular technology combining nanosecond light pulses with ultrasound bursts and demonstrated its great potential in treating deep cutaneous vessels. This study explored the feasibility of PUT as an alternative to traditional PDL therapy for deep cutaneous vascular treatment in a clinically relevant chicken wattle model. PUT was employed to induce cavitation in blood vessels by using different light fluence and ultrasound pressure combinations. Theoretical modeling and in vitro experiments were first conducted to validate and optimize parameters for PUT treatment targeting deep vasculature. PUT treatments were then performed in a chicken wattle model using an experimental setup, and outcomes were assessed by using polarized dermoscope, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) imaging, and histopathological analyses. The results demonstrated that PUT can effectively penetrate the entire thickness of chicken wattle tissue, which is about 3 mm, and significantly reduce blood vessel density by 45.20% with a light fluence 10–100 times less than the fluence used in traditional PDL therapy. OCT-A imaging showed that local blood perfusion was significantly reduced, and the reduced blood perfusion persisted for at least 7 days post-treatment in the treated areas. Histopathological analyses based on H&E, CD31, and Russell-Movat Pentachrome (RMP) stains confirmed effective and selective vascular damage through the entire thickness of chicken wattle without causing collateral thermal damage. In conclusion, PUT can effectively eliminate blood vessels with a treatment depth up to 3 mm whereas the 3 mm treatment depth demonstrated in this study was only limited by the chicken wattle model. By leveraging the deep tissue penetration of ultrasound and the flexibility in treatment parameter selection, PUT can effectively treat deep cutaneous vasculature using reduced light fluence and thereby minimize collateral damage in skin tissues. Thus, PUT holds great potential for treatment of cutaneous vascular anomalies such as PWS.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"135-145"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11145956","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036877","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}

This study explores two amplitude-modulated (AM) techniques—cross amplitude modulation (xAM) and compound amplitude modulation (cAM)—to enhance the capabilities of NB-mediated CEUS imaging. Both methods were tested on the Vevo F2 ultrasound imaging system (Fujifilm VisualSonics Inc.) using the Vevo Advanced Data Acquisition (VADA) mode, allowing full customization of pulse sequences. The xAM technique utilized a three-event pulse sequence that transmits cross-propagating plane-wave beams from dual apertures. This method isolated nonlinear scattered waves from NBs, reducing background noise and enhancing image quality. In contrast, cAM achieved a high frame rate of 706 Hz, a valuable feature for tracking the NB vascular flow dynamics. cAM combined plane-wave compounding with amplitude modulation, transmitting two events (half- and full-amplitude), achieving high frame rates for velocity imaging at the expense of image quality. NBs at a concentration of <inline-formula> <tex-math>$10^{9}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> NBs/mL, intended to mimic estimated in vivo post-injection concentrations, were injected into custom-built tissue-mimicking vessel phantoms. Experiments demonstrated that xAM significantly improved the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and contrast-to-tissue ratio (CTR) by over 10 times compared to B-mode imaging, especially at larger steering angles. Conversely, cAM’s CNR and CTR were at least 50% lower than that of xAM, but it achieved a frame rate over 100 times faster than xAM. These results suggest xAM can enhance imaging clarity, while cAM offers high frame rates for velocity imaging, providing an imaging framework for preclinical and clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":73301,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control","volume":"5 ","pages":"146-160"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11143226","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145073325","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.

We exposed perfluorobutane NDs to a proton beam and recorded their vaporization signatures during irradiation.

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}
