An ultrasound sparse array consists of a sparse distribution of elements over a 2-D aperture.
Such an array is typically characterized by a limited number of elements, which in most …

Starting from key ultrasound imaging features such as spatial and temporal resolution,
contrast, penetration depth, array aperture, and field-of-view (FOV) size, the reader will be …

Rationale: Structure and function of the microvasculature provides critical information about
disease state, can be used to identify local regions of pathology, and has been shown to be …

High-frame-rate 3-D ultrasound imaging technology combined with super-resolution
processing method can visualize 3-D microvascular structures by overcoming the diffraction …

The structure of microvasculature cannot be resolved using conventional ultrasound (US)
imaging due to the fundamental diffraction limit at clinical US frequencies. It is possible to …

Open scanners offer an increasing support to the ultrasound researchers who are involved
in the experimental test of novel methods. Each system presents specific performance in …

Three dimensional ultrasound (3-D US) imaging methods based on 2-D array probes are
increasingly investigated. However, the experimental test of new 3-D US approaches is …

Row–column arrays have been shown to be able to generate 3-D ultrafast ultrasound
images with an order of magnitude less independent electronic channels than traditional 2 …

Full matrix arrays are excellent tools for 3-D ultrasound imaging, but the required number of
active elements is too high to be individually controlled by an equal number of scanner …

Sparse spiral phased arrays are advantageous for many emerging air-coupled ultrasonic
applications, since grating lobes are prevented without being constrained to the half …
