In ultrasound (US) imaging, individual channel RF measurements are back-propagated and accumulated to form an image after applying specific delays. While this time reversal is usually implemented using a hardware- or software-based…

Dynamic metasurface antennas (DMA) provide low-power beamforming through reconfigurable radiative slots. Each slot has a tunable component that consumes low power compared to typical analog components like phase shifters. This makes DMAs a…

The standard technique used by commercial medical ultrasound systems to form B-mode images is delay and sum (DAS) beamforming. However, DAS often results in limited image resolution and contrast, which are governed by the center frequency…

Optical resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) leverages optical focusing and acoustic detection for microscopic optical absorption imaging. Intrinsically it owns high optical lateral resolution and poor acoustic axial resolution.…

Ultrasound (US) imaging is based on the time-reversal principle, in which individual channel RF measurements are back-propagated and accumulated to form an image after applying specific delays. While this time reversal is usually…

Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) is a classical adaptive beamformer that theoretically ensures the distortionless transmission of signals in the target direction, which makes it popular in real applications. Its noise…

Ultrasound imaging, despite its widespread use in medicine, often suffers from various sources of noise and artifacts that impact the signal-to-noise ratio and overall image quality. Enhancing ultrasound images requires a delicate balance…
