Although the use of ultrasonic plane-wave transmissions rather than line-per-line focused
beam transmissions has been long studied in research, clinical application of this …

The basic principles of using sonographic techniques for imaging the elastic properties of
tissues are described, with particular emphasis on elastography. After some preliminaries …

Chronic hepatitis is accompanied by progressive deposit of hepatic fibrosis, which may lead
to cirrhosis. Evaluation of liver fibrosis is, thus, of great clinical interest and, up to now, has …

A program for the simulation of ultrasound systems is presented. It is based on the Tupholme-
Stepanishen method, and is fastbecause of the use of a far-field approximation. Any kind …

This new edition of the bestselling Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook
brings together all aspects of the design and implementation of measurement …

In this article, we consider deep learning strategies in ultrasound systems, from the front end
to advanced applications. Our goal is to provide the reader with a broad understanding of …

This third edition provides a concise and generously illustrated survey of the complete field
of medical imaging and image computing, explaining the mathematical and physical …

The paper describes the use of synthetic aperture (SA) imaging in medical ultrasound. SA
imaging is a radical break with today's commercial systems, where the image is acquired …

Ultrasound imaging is one of the most important and widely used diagnostic tools in modern
medicine, second only to the conventional x-ray. Although considered a mature field …

Doppler-based flow analysis methods require acquisition of ultrasound data at high spatio-
temporal sampling rates. These rates represent a major technical challenge for ultrasound …
