摘要： Artifacts in ultrasound displacement images are reduced by combining multiple component displacement images. For each component displacement image first a pre-displacement ultrasound image is generated from a particular imaging angle. Then a displacement force is applied on the object at a desired displacement angle via an ultrasound or other mechanical force. Then a post-displacement ultrasound image is generated from the same imaging angle. A component displacement image is generated by correlating the pre-displacement and post-displacement ultrasound images. The above steps are repeated for at least one other (imaging angle, displacement angle) pair, and the resulting component displacement images are combined to reduce displacement image artifacts.

摘要： Ultrasonic acoustic imaging finds many uses, particularly in the field of non-invasive medical testing. Detection of Doppler shifted acoustic frequencies permits observation of flow of a particle-containing liquid, for example, blood flow. In order to see slower moving blood by Doppler ultrasound investigation, as the blood moves from major blood vessels into arterioles and capillaries, it is necessary to lower the pulse repetition frequency. The herein disclosed invention is an interleaving technique that lowers the effective pulse repetition frequency at each probe position without exacting these system penalties.
