Plane wave ultrasound imaging using a single short, broadband planar source pulse generated by photoacoustic excitation, was demonstrated.
@enWe demonstrate the feasibility of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) chirp imaging as well as chirp reversal ultrasound contrast imaging at intravascular ultrasound frequency. Chirp excitations were emitted with a 34 MHz single crystal intravascular transducer and compared to con ...
Photoacoustic signals originating from weak sources can be hard to discriminate from higher intensity signals resulting from the photoacoustic background. In order to reveal these weaker signals we propose a method where the expected background signal is subtracted from the ac ...
The carotid artery (CA) is one of the main arteries of interest to cardiovascular research, because of the clinical relevance of CA plaques as culprits of stroke and the accessibility of the CA for cardiovascular health screening. Viscoelastic properties of the arterial wall a ...
Biomedical tissues usually show inhomogeneity in their acoustic mediumparameters. These inhomogeneities cause refraction and scattering of diagnosticand therapeutic ultrasound waves. A method that is able to model the effects ofinhomogeneity in the attenuation and in the nonli ...
Research on nonlinear medical ultrasound has been increased over the lastdecade and has resulted in a wide range of numerical methods for the modeling ofthe nonlinear distortion of a propagating pressure wave. However, when appliedto realistic configurations, the majority of t ...
