Apart from its clinical use in imaging, ultrasound has been thoroughly investigated as a tool
to enhance drug delivery in a wide variety of applications. Therapeutic ultrasound, as such …

We investigate the use of deep neural networks (DNNs) for suppressing off-axis scattering in
ultrasound channel data. Our implementation operates in the frequency domain via the short …

Abstract Delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming is widely used for generation of B-mode
images from echo signals obtained with an array probe composed of transducer elements …

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

The coherence factor (CF) is used for aberration correction and sidelobe suppression in
ultrasound imaging. Unfortunately, it suffers from artifacts when the SNR is low. We show …

Passive acoustic mapping (PAM) is a promising imaging method that enables real-time
three-dimensional monitoring of ultrasound therapy through the reconstruction of acoustic …

Recently, adaptive beamforming methods have been successfully applied to medical
ultrasound imaging, resulting in significant improvement in image quality compared with non …

Acoustic clutter produced by off-axis and multipath scattering is known to cause image
degradation, and in some cases these sources may be the prime determinants of in vivo …

Ultrasound imaging is widely used in medical diagnosis. It has the advantages of being
performed in real time, cost-efficient, noninvasive, and nonionizing. The traditional delay …

The widespread development of new ultrasound image formation techniques has created a
need for a standardized methodology for comparing the resulting images. Traditional …
