Photoacoustic imaging–the combination of optics and acoustics to visualize differences in
optical absorption–has recently demonstrated strong viability as a promising method to …

Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides a unified description of the physical principles of
ultrasound imaging, signal processing, systems and measurements. This comprehensive …

Conventional ultrasound images are formed by delay-and-sum beamforming of the
backscattered echoes received by individual elements of the transducer aperture. Although …

Deep learning for ultrasound image formation is rapidly garnering research support and
attention, quickly rising as the latest frontier in ultrasound image formation, with much …

Minimally invasive surgeries often require complicated maneuvers and delicate hand–eye
coordination and ideally would incorporate “x-ray vision” to see beyond tool tips and …

Traditional pulse-echo ultrasound imaging heavily relies on the discernment of signals
based on their relative magnitudes but is limited in its ability to mitigate sources of image …

A model and method to accurately estimate the local speed of sound in tissue from pulse-
echo ultrasound data is presented. The model relates the local speeds of sound along a …

Deep learning methods are capable of performing sophisticated tasks when applied to a
myriad of artificial intelligent (AI) research fields. In this paper, we introduce a novel …

Cardiac interventional procedures are often performed under fluoroscopic guidance,
exposing both the patient and operators to ionizing radiation. To reduce this risk of radiation …

A general filtering method, called the singular value filter (SVF), is presented as a framework
for principal component analysis (PCA) based filter design in medical ultrasound imaging …
