Finite amplitude distortion based harmonic imaging has been used to reduce the image
quality degradation produced by tissue inhomogeneities. Such harmonic signals are …

Image quality degradation caused by harmonic leakage was studied for finite amplitude
distortion-based harmonic imaging. Various sources of harmonic leakage, including transmit …

Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI) is a new ultrasound imaging technique, which uses the
harmonic components generated by nonlinear acoustic propagation through human tissues …

Motion artifacts of the pulse inversion technique were studied for finite amplitude distortion-
based harmonic imaging. Motion in both the axial and the lateral directions was considered …

Ultrasonic harmonic imaging provides superior image quality than linear imaging and has
become an important diagnostic tool in many clinical applications. Nevertheless, the contrast …

Tissue harmonic imaging suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under typical imaging
conditions. On the contrary, presence of strong tissue harmonics also degrades microbubble …

Developments of tissue and contrast harmonics imaging in medical ultrasound technologies
have enabled the display of low-contrast tissue structures that have not been previously …

Dual-frequency (DF) transmit waveforms comprise signals at two different frequencies. With
a DF transmit waveform operating at both fundamental frequency (f 0) and second-harmonic …

Compared to the fundamental and the second harmonic imaging, the third harmonic
imaging shows significant improvements in image quality due to the better resolution, but it …

Generation of tissue harmonic signals during acoustic propagation is based on the
combined effect of two different spectral interactions of the transmit signal. One produces …
