Beamformer for a Lensed Row–Column Array in 3-D Ultrasound Imaging

Ali Salari;Mélanie Audoin;Borislav Gueorguiev Tomov;Billy Y. S. Yiu;Erik Vilain Thomsen;Jørgen Arendt Jensen

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control
Year: 2025 | Volume: 72, Issue: 2 | Journal Article |
Row-column (RC) arrays typically suffer from a limited field of view (FOV), with the imaging area confined to a rectangular region equal to the footprint of the probe. This limitation can be solved by using a diverging lens in front of the probe. Previous studies have introduced a thin lens model for beamforming lensed RC arrays, but this model inaccurately assumes the lens to be infinitely thin, ...Show More

Velocity estimation in ultrasound imaging is a technique to measure the speed and direction of blood flow. The flow velocity in small blood vessels, i.e., arterioles, venules, and capillaries, can be estimated using super-resolution ultrasound imaging (SRUS). However, the vessel width in SRUS is relatively small compared with the full-width-half-maximum of the ultrasound beam in the elevation dire...Show More

Super-resolution ultrasound imaging using the erythrocytes (SURE) has recently been introduced. The method uses erythrocytes as targets instead of fragile microbubbles (MBs). The abundance of erythrocyte scatterers makes it possible to acquire SURE data in just a few seconds compared with several minutes in ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) using MBs. A high number of scatterers can reduce ...Show More

Double-curved diverging lenses are used to extend the Field of View (FOV) of flat 2D Row-Column Addressed (RCA) transducers, for performing real-time volumetric imaging of large organs. Such lenses are usually made in a spherical shape geometry, which poorly fits the square footprint of RCA arrays. In particular, for large arrays, the radius of curvature of the lens is constrained to increase sign...Show More

A key component of super-resolution ultrasound imaging (SRI) is the detection and tracking of scatterers. These scatterers can be microbubbles (MBs) in SRI, or erythrocytes in SUper Resolution ultrasound imaging using Erythrocytes (SURE). To ensure the reliability of MBs tracking in SRI, the MBs must be sparse. However, the sparse distribution of the MBs necessitates several minutes of acquisition...Show More

The transducer resonance frequency is a key parameter for the field of ultrasound. The resonance frequency in vacuum is well understood, and an analytical expression for the center frequency in immersion was derived by Lamb in 1920 [1], however this expression has limited validity.

Row-column (RC) matrix probes can yield 3-D volumetric imaging using a number of receiving elements similar to traditional linear arrays for commercial scanners.

2022 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS)
Year: 2022 | Conference Paper |
Coded excitation (CE) signals have the potential to greatly improve image quality and penetration depth by increasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, CE can increase the operating temperature of a transducer beyond the safety limits defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and this has often limited the use of CE with Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) probes.
