Thermal noise and acoustic clutter signals degrade ultrasonic image quality and contribute
to unreliable clinical assessment. When both noise and clutter are prevalent, it is difficult to …

Recently, researchers have discovered the direct impact of the tumor mechanical
environment on the growth, drug uptake and prognosis of tumors. While estimating the …

The objective of this work was to develop an automated region of the interest selection
method to use for adaptive imaging. The as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) principle …

Deep abdominal images suffer from poor diffraction-limited lateral resolution. Extending the
aperture size can improve resolution. However, phase distortion and clutter can limit the …

Ultrasound is an essential tool for diagnosing and monitoring diseases, but it can be limited
by poor image quality. Lag-one coherence (LOC) is an image quality metric that can be …

Abstract The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides guidelines for maximum
acoustic output for diagnostic ultrasound imaging through metrics such as intensity …

Adaptive ultrasound systems, designed to automatically and dynamically tune imaging
parameters based on image quality feedback, represent a promising solution for reducing …
