摘要： In accordance with the present invention there is presented an automated system for testing the ability of clinical ultrasound scanners to detect focal lesions in human tissue. An ultrasound scanner phantom containing background material mimicking the ultrasonic characteristics of human tissue and coplanar spherical target lesions ultrasonically contrasting with the background material is scanned using the ultrasound scanner to be tested. Digitized images are made of the ultrasound scan of slices in the ultrasound phantom containing background material only and of slices on which the focal lesions are centered. A lesion signal to noise ratio (SNR).sub.L is then calculated at each defined pixel coordinate in the target lesion slice. This calculation employs (1) a pixel value average calculated over a sample area of the target image slice centered at a pixel location and which is of a size approximately that of the cross-sectional area of the target lesions, (2) an average pixel value calculated over an averaging area centered at the same pixel coordinate but containing mostly background image data, and (3) a standard deviation of averaged pixel values calculated in the background material image plane. The proximal and distal depth range limits of detectability of an ultrasound scanner, for a given lesion diameter and contrast, may then be determined based on the number of pixel locations in a depth range of the scanned plane having an absolute value SNR greater than a threshold value.

摘要： An ultrasound phantom for use with an ultrasound scanner. The ultrasound phantom includes a container having a bottom and walls, margins of the walls remote from the bottom defining a window, which is closed by an ultrasound-transmitting window cover. A phantom body is contained within the container and includes a matrix made of a matrix material exhibiting a matrix ultrasonic speed, specific gravity, attenuation coefficient, and backscatter coefficient. The phantom body further includes a multiplicity of scattering particles spaced sufficiently close to each other that the scanner is incapable of resolving individual scattering particles and testing spheres having a testing sphere ultrasonic speed, specific gravity, attenuation coefficient, and backscatter coefficient, at least one of which is different from the corresponding matrix ultrasonic speed, specific gravity, attenuation coefficient, and backscatter coefficient. The testing spheres are located within the phantom body in a random array.

摘要： A highly constrained image processing method is used to improve the quality, including spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), of ultrasound image frames. Ultrasound image frames are accumulated to form a composite image that contains a priori information about the subject being imaged. This composite image is used in a HYPR processing method to improve the quality of the ultrasound image frame. For example, the SNR of the composite image is increased as a function of the number of ultrasound image frames used to produce it, and this increased SNR is passed on to each highly constrained image frame. Additionally, high spatial resolution ultrasound images are produced using an undersampled sampling density, and the quality of these images is restored to substantially the same level as a fully sampled image.

摘要： Elastographic imaging of heart tissue may be used to provide strain images by mapping strain magnitude to brightness and strain sign to hue and thus provide improved clinical indication of compression and distension of heart muscle. An areal cursor may be used to obtain quantitative measurements of strain at predetermined periods in the heart cycle. Multiple area measurements of strain may be combined to provide a quantitative index of cardiac health.
