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 …

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a burgeoning imaging technology that provides vital
information for the diagnosis of coronary arterial diseases. A significant constituent that …

Two-dimensional (2-D) arrays offer volumetric imaging capabilities without the need for
probe translation or rotation. A sparse array with elements seeded in a tapering spiral …

This paper presents an analog front-end transceiver for an ultrasound imaging system
based on a high-voltage (HV) transmitter, a low-noise front-end amplifier (RX), and a …

Volumetric ultrasound imaging of blood flow with microbubbles enables a more complete
visualization of the microvasculature. Sparse arrays are ideal candidates to perform …

Four-dimensional ultrasound imaging of complex biological systems such as the brain is
technically challenging because of the spatiotemporal sampling requirements. We present …

Medical imaging using different modalities has many problems. The main ones are low
informativeness, various distortion noises, and a large amount of information. Fusion …

Ultrasound open platforms are programmable and flexible tools for the development and test
