An ultrasonic array is a single transducer that contains a number of individually connected
elements. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the use of ultrasonic arrays for …

The paper describes the use of synthetic aperture (SA) imaging in medical ultrasound. SA
imaging is a radical break with today's commercial systems, where the image is acquired …

A practical learning tool for building a solid understanding of biomedical ultrasound Basics
of Biomedical Ultrasound for Engineers is a structured textbook that leads the novice …

Medical ultrasound imaging uses pulsed acoustic waves that are transmitted and received
by a hand-held transducer. This is a mature technology that it is widely used around the …

The Synthetic Aperture Real-time Ultrasound System (SARUS) for acquiring and processing
synthetic aperture (SA) data for research purposes is described. The specifications and …

Ultrasound imaging is now in very widespread clinical use. The most important
underpinning technologies include transducers, beam forming, pulse compression, tissue …

Open platform (OP) ultrasound systems are aimed primarily at the research community. They
have been at the forefront of the development of synthetic aperture, plane wave, shear wave …

An ultrasound sparse array consists of a sparse distribution of elements over a 2-D aperture.
Such an array is typically characterized by a limited number of elements, which in most …

Conventional ultrasound methods for acquiring color images of blood velocity are limited by
a relatively low frame-rate and are restricted to give velocity estimates along the ultrasound …

For pt. I, see ibid., vol. 52, no. 2, p. 177-91 (2005). In the first paper, the superiority of linear
FM signals was shown in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and robustness to tissue attenuation …
