摘要:
A method of analyzing an ultrasonic signal is described. The method is characterized in that the ultrasonic signal (f(t)) is sampled and digitized and in that a discrete wavelet transform is applied to the sampled and digitized signal to obtain a spectral map of the sampled signal
摘要:
A description is given of a method of spectral analysis of a radio frequency ultrasonic signal reflected by a structure subjected to echographic examination, comprising the steps of: a) transmitting an ultrasonic excitation signal into a portion of said structure under examination; b) receiving a radio frequency response signal from said structure; c) applying a time-frequency transform to said radio frequency response signal, dividing the radio frequency response signal into a plurality of frequency bands; d) calculating a local spectral parameter from the values of the time-frequency transform.
摘要:
The method decomposes the radio frequency signal into sub-bands by filtering, for example with a time-frequency transform. From the coefficients acquired through decomposition a matrix of spectral coefficients is obtained, from which local estimators are obtained, constituted in particular by the coefficients of the interpolating polynomials. The statistical distribution of the local estimators is evaluated in windows overlaid on the ultrasound frame. The conformation of the distribution histograms of the spectral coefficients provides a parameter which, combined with the local estimators, provides weighted local estimators, which contain spectral information useful in the identification of specific structures in the organ subjected to ultrasound analysis.

The method comprises the phases of: sending a series of excitation ultrasonic signals to a volume being investigated, by means of an array of transducers aligned in a transverse direction (x), said ultrasonic signals propagating in depth in said volume according to a direction of propagation (y); acquiring, by means of said transducers, signals reflected from reflectors located in the volume being investigated; performing on said reflected signals a transform in the transverse direction from a spatial domain (x,y), defined by said transverse direction (x) and by said direction of propagation (y), to a first transformed domain; applying, in the transformed domain, a two-dimensional transformation, to straighten every curved image (Ip1, Ip2, Ip3) of a reflector in said volume being investigated and make it essentially orthogonal to the direction of propagation (y); compressing, in the transverse direction (x) each of the straightened curves (Im1, Im2, Im3) to concentrate said straightened image in a zone centered at the level of the position of said reflector along said transverse direction (x).
摘要:
The opto-acoustic generator of ultrasound waves comprises an optical fiber associated to a laser-energy source, and an opto-acoustic transducer which is applied to said fiber and is designed to be impinged upon by the laser beam and to absorb partially the energy, converting it into thermal energy, thus bringing about the formation of ultrasound waves by the thermo-acoustic effect. Said opto-acoustic transducer consists of a layer or film containing prevalently graphite, which is applied on a surface of said optical fiber.

A method and system for skin tightening comprises a hollow cannula that contains an optical fiber connected to a laser source. The cannula is inserted subcutaneously into a patient so that the end of the fiber is located within the tissue underlying the dermis. The source emits an output pulse that is conveyed by the fiber to the dermis, where the pulse causes collagen destruction and shrinkage within the treatment area. Radiation from the skin surface is detected to prevent non-reversible damage to the dermis, such as skin necrosis and excessive collagen melting. This method of sub-cutaneous laser treatment can also be used to treat striae, or stretch marks.

The kit of optical fibers for percutaneous ablative treatment, comprises at least two optical fibers (5), each of which is equipped; at a first end with a connector (5A) to a laser source (7); and in proximity to a second end with a device (5B) for constraining to a pervious needle (9). The kit comprises a coding system that characterizes one fiber with respect to the other, allowing said fibers to be distinguished from one another.

A method for laser anti-inflammatory treatment of painful symptomatologies and for tissue regeneration includes generating a pulsed laser beam with laser at a wavelength between 0.75 and 2.5 micrometers. The laser energy is conveyed to a hand unit where the laser beam is preferably defocused. The operator then applies the defocused laser beam the skin of a patient in need of treatment. The average power density per pulse of the defocused laser beam on the skin being 8 W/cm2 per pulse or more.
