    摘要： Systems and methods are presented for increasing the frame rate of real-time 3D ultrasound imaging. In one embodiment, the frame rate for generating a pseudo-shaded 2D projection image may be increased by controlling the image reconstruction process. Rather than beamforming, scan converting, and interpolating a 3D voxelized data set of an entire scanned volume, only samples required for generating the 2D projection image may be reconstructed. The element data measured from each transducer array element may be combined to directly reconstruct those 3D image samples required by the volume rendering algorithm to generate the 2D projection image.

    摘要： An ultrasound system comprises a probe including a two-dimensional (2D) array of transducer elements that form an aperture having a plurality of receive elements that are configured to receive ultrasound signals. The transducer elements form at least one transmit sub-aperture that is configured to be interconnected with a fixed group of the transducer elements within the aperture. Transmitters generate electrical transmit signals, and at least one transmit sub-aperture processor (tx SAP) maps the transducer elements within the fixed group of the transducer elements to the transmitters in a transmit configuration based on a beam steering direction.

    摘要： In dual line ultrasound beamforming, an ideal transmit beam should have two peak locations, each following one of the receive beams. Dual beam steering by apodization creates such transmit beam; however, the resulting beam is optimized for only a single depth and significant line warping can occur away from that depth. The transmit beam shape in ultrasound multiline acquisition however, is improved by numerically optimizing the transmit beam, i.e., the aperture function, such that no line warping occurs over the entire depth of field. The aperture function is numerically optimized by numerically optimizing a Cost function which is dependent on the aperture function. The numerically optimized aperture function is then used in a multiline acquisition mode of an ultrasound imaging system.

    摘要： Ultrasound imaging of biological tissue using multiple harmonic response parameters is performed by transmitting a pulse centered at fundamental frequency ƒ0 and filtering the returned beamformed signal with a bandpass filter centered at a frequency less than ƒ0. The fundamental transmit pulse spectrum and the receive filter passband are chosen to have negligible overlap so that substantially only harmonic signal components are bandpassed. The harmonic signals leaked through the passband from harmonic spectra centered at DC or at ƒ0 are detected and processed to form display image data which are displayed on a display subsystem. The signal content leaked through the passband is a function of the entire set of harmonic response parameters.

    摘要： In a method and apparatus for ultrasound imaging of biological tissue using higher-order nonlinear signal components an ultrasound line is acquired at different excitation levels. The acquisition is repeated I times with identical beamforming parameters, but varying excitation level. All of the transmitted waveforms are nonlinearly distorted, but the degree of distortion depends on the excitation level, making it possible to extract individual nonlinear signal components by properly combining the received echo signals. A pre-computed estimation matrix, dependent on the order of an estimation model and the excitation levels, is stored in computer memory and used to compute the nonlinear components of interest. The real-time calculations reduce to a linear combination of the received echo signals. A further reduction in computational load can be achieved if one is interested in only the n-th-order nonlinear component.
