Driving the numerous elements of 2D matrix arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging is very
challenging in terms of cable size, wiring and data rate. The sparse array approach tackles …

Sparse array designs are a promising approach to improve the beam pattern and imaging
quality, especially for applications, where hardware resources are severely limited. In …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death globally. Currently,
diagnosis and intervention in CAD are typically performed via minimally invasive cardiac …

Two-dimensional ultrasound transducers enable the acquisition of fully volumetric data that
have been demonstrated to provide greater diagnostic information in the clinical setting and …

Two-dimensional arrays enable volumetric ultrasound imaging but have been limited to
small aperture size and hence low resolution due to the high cost and complexity of …

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and imaging options of contrast-
enhanced volumetric ultrasound kidney vasculature imaging in a porcine model using a …

Abstract 3D synthetic aperture (SA) imaging of volumes can be obtained using sparse 2D
ultrasound arrays. However, even with just 256 elements, the volumetric imaging rate can be …

Two-dimensional sparse arrays and row-column arrays are both alternatives to 2-D fully
addressed arrays with lower channel counts. Row-column arrays have recently …

Ultrasound imaging is overwhelmingly used as 2D modality even though 3D imaging
capabilities have existed for decades. Recent generational shifts toward super-resolution …

Volumetric echocardiography can potentially give a more complete picture of cardiac
dynamics than its two-dimensional (2D) counterpart. Current clinical volumetric imaging …
