Time-domain plane-wave imaging (PWI) has recently emerged in medical imaging and is
now taking to nondestructive testing (NDT) due to its ability to provide images of good …

Recent progress in adaptive beamforming techniques for medical ultrasound has shown that
current resolution limits can be surpassed. One method of obtaining improved lateral …

Plane-wave (PW) ultrasound imaging allows for ultrafast image acquisition rates, thus
enabling new biomedical applications, such as ultrasound-based blood flow and tissue …

Ultrasonic array imaging algorithms have been widely developed and used for non-
destructive evaluation (NDE) in the last two decades. In this paper two widely used time …

This study proposes a novel modified sign coherence factor (SCF) weighting adapted to the
frequency-domain (FD) beamforming for ultrasound plane-wave imaging to achieve a high …

Synthetic aperture focusing (SAF) and coherence factor weighting (CFW) have been used to
improve the lateral resolution of ultrasound images. Although the two methods are effective …

Investigations into Fourier beamforming for medical ultrasound imaging have largely been
limited to plane-wave and single-element transmissions. The main aim of this work is to …

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been frequently used for coronary artery imaging
clinically. More importantly, IVUS is the fundamental image modality for most advanced …

This book presents the topic of underwater real-time 3-D acoustical imaging covering the
theory, algorithms and system design. It summarizes recent advances in wideband and ultra …

Convex probes have been widely used in clinical abdominal imaging for providing deep
penetration and wide field of view. Ultrafast imaging modalities have been studied …
