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 …

This letter presents, for the first time, experimental work on microwave breast cancer imaging
using inhomogeneous breast phantoms. A recently designed 31-antenna array is used in …

Confocal Microwave Imaging (CMI) for the early detection of breast cancer has been under
development for over two decades and is currently going through early-phase clinical …

This paper introduces the SNR-dependent coherence factor (CF), which can be used for
adaptive side lobe suppression in ultrasound (US) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging …

Coherence-factor-like beamforming methods, such as the coherence factor (CF), the phase
coherence factor (PCF), or the sign coherence factor (SCF), have been applied to suppress …

The coherence factor (CF), defined as the ratio of coherent power to incoherent power
received by an array of sensors for a given point in an image scene, is applied to through …

The delay-and-sum (DAS) beamformer is the most commonly used method in medical
ultrasound imaging. Compared with the DAS beamformer, the minimum variance (MV) …

Some success has been demonstrated in the extensive studies of adaptive imaging, but
these approaches are generally not suitable for high-frame-rate (HFR) imaging where broad …

Coherent plane wave compounding (CPWC), as an ultrafast ultrasound imaging technique,
makes a significant breakthrough in frame rate enhancement. However, there exists a …

Ultrasound is frequently used in conjunction with mammography in order to detect breast
cancer as early as possible. However, due largely to the heterogeneity of breast tissue …
