To check or to prevent failures in ultrasound medical systems, some tests should be
scheduled for both clinical suitability and technical functionality evaluation: among them …

In the present work a new approach for maximum depth of ultrasound signal visualization
has been proposed by means of a tissue mimicking phantoms: the novel method is based …

To date, Quality Assurance (QA) for diagnostic ultrasound is not mandatory despite the
continuous research in the field. Limits associated with visually assessed tests and the lack …

Ultrasound (US) has become increasingly important in imaging and image-guided
interventional procedures. In order to ensure that the imaging equipment performs to the …

Ultrasound Colour Flow is an imaging technique that combines velocity with anatomical
information obtained by means of ultrasonic Doppler techniques and pulse-echo methods …

In this work a preliminary study is proposed to assess the validity of an automatic and low
cost measurement method for Functional ReachTest (FRT) implementation. To this aim FRT …

In the ultrasound image the relationship between echo amplitudes and gray levels is
expressed by means of the Grayscale Mapping Function (GMF), that is the greyscale transfer …

The Functional Reach Test (FRT) is a simple, portable, clinically accepted tool that is used to
measure semi-static balance. In a recent study, video recordings and software …

Instrumented gait analysis based on optoelectronic systems is an expensive technique used
to objectively measure the human movement features and it is generally considered as the …

We demonstrate dual modality of free-space fluorescence diffuse optical tomography
(FDOT) and handheld ultrasound (US) imaging to reveal both functional and structural …
