A Method for High-Frequency Mechanical Scanning Ultrasonic Flow Imaging with Motion Compensation.

Mechanical scanning with a single transducer is an alternative method for high-frequency ultrasound imaging, which is simple in structure, convenient to implement, and low in cost. However, traditional mechanical scanning ultrasonic imaging introduces additional Doppler shift due to the movement of the transducer, which brings a challenge for blood velocity measurement. An improved mechanical scanning system for high-frequency ultrasonic color Doppler flow imaging is developed in this paper.

High-Frequency Endoscopic Ultrasound Imaging With Phase-Corrected-and-Sum and Coherence Factor Weighting.

High-frequency endoscopic ultrasound (HFEUS) imaging is an important tool commonly used in clinical practice for imaging hollow organs. The virtual source synthetic aperture (VSSA) method is effective in improving the imaging quality of HFEUS. However, interference from the motor control unit severely affects the accuracy of the conventional delay and sum (DAS) method, thus compromising the effectiveness of VSSA.
