The visibility of a needle in ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous procedures is often limited
by dispersion of the needle's reflections away from the probe. A needle enhancement …

Spatial compounding aims to improve image quality through signal averaging, but speed-of-
sound (SoS) and refraction errors can misalign the component frames and blur the …

A new programmable ultrasound machine and software interface is described. The software
interface takes advantage of the open architecture of the new machine to provide real-time …

Freehand 3D ultrasound imaging usually involves moving a conventional tracked 2D
ultrasound probe over a subject and combining the images into a volume to be interpreted …

We have conducted a general study that relates calibrated 2-D ultrasonic spectral
parameters to the physical properties of sub-resolution tissue scatterers. Our 2-D spectra are …

Spatial compound imaging via beam-steering aims to improve image quality through signal
averaging. However, compounding techniques are vulnerable to speed-of-sound and …
