Ultrasound strain imaging, which delineates mechanical properties to detect tissue abnormalities, involves estimating the time-delay between two radio-frequency (RF) frames collected before and after tissue deformation. The existing…

Traditional beamforming of medical ultrasound images relies on sampling rates significantly higher than the actual Nyquist rate of the received signals. This results in large amounts of data to store and process, imposing hardware and…

Removing speckle noise from medical ultrasound images while preserving image features without introducing artifact and distortion is a major challenge in ultrasound image restoration. In this paper, we propose a multiframe-based adaptive…

In the context of lung ultrasound, the detection of B-lines, which are indicative of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary edema, plays a pivotal role in clinical diagnosis. Current methods still rely on visual inspection by experts.…

An alternative approach to ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) for medical imaging is proposed, with the intent to (i) shorten acquisition time for devices with a large number of emitters, (ii) eliminate the calibration step, and (iii)…

Poor resolution of ultrasound images due to convolution of the tissue reflectivity function (TRF) with the system point spread function (PSF) is a major issue in medical ultrasound imaging. In this paper, we propose a correlation…

Ultrasound B-Mode images are created from data obtained from each element in the transducer array in a process called beamforming. The beamforming goal is to enhance signals from specified spatial locations, while reducing signal from all…

Delay-and-Sum (DAS) is the most common algorithm used in photoacoustic (PA) image formation. However, this algorithm results in a reconstructed image with a wide mainlobe and high level of sidelobes. Minimum variance (MV), as an adaptive…

Ultrasound imaging is widely used in noninvasive medical diagnostics due to its efficiency, portability, and avoidance of ionizing radiation. However, its utility is limited by the quality of the signal. Signal-dependent speckle noise,…

Frame rate is a crucial consideration in cardiac ultrasound imaging and 3D sonography. Several methods have been proposed in the medical ultrasound literature aiming at accelerating the image acquisition. In this paper, we consider one such…

Diagnostic imaging plays a critical role in healthcare, serving as a fundamental asset for timely diagnosis, disease staging and management as well as for treatment choice, planning, guidance, and follow-up. Among the diagnostic imaging…

Row-column arrays have shown to be able to generate 3-D ultrafast ultrasound images with an order of magnitude less independent electronic channels than classic 2D matrix arrays. Unfortunately row-column array images suffer from major…

Ultrasound images are widespread in medical diagnosis for musculoskeletal, cardiac, and obstetrical imaging due to the efficiency and non-invasiveness of the acquisition methodology. However, the acquired images are degraded by acoustic…

Super-resolution ultrasound imaging (SRUS) is an active area of research as it brings up to a ten-fold improvement in the resolution of microvascular structures. The limitations to the clinical adoption of SRUS include long acquisition…

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a promising medical imaging modality providing the spatial resolution of ultrasound (US) imaging and the contrast of pure optical imaging. For linear-array PAI, a beamformer has to be used as the…

Here, we report analysis and summary of research in the field of localization microscopy for optical imaging. We introduce the basic elements of super-resolved localization microscopy methods for PALM and STORM, commonly used both in vivo…

Phased microphone arrays are used widely in the applications for acoustic source localization. Deconvolution approaches such as DAMAS successfully overcome the spatial resolution limit of the conventional delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming…

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging datasets suffer from low Signal-to-Noise Ratio, especially at high b-values. Acquiring data at high b-values contains relevant information and is now of great interest for microstructural and…

During the past few years, inverse problem formulations of ultrasound beamforming have attracted a growing interest. They usually pose beamforming as a minimization problem of a fidelity term resulting from the measurement model plus a…

Resolving arterial flows is essential for understanding cardiovascular pathologies, improving diagnosis, and monitoring patient condition. Ultrasound contrast imaging uses microbubbles to enhance the scattering of the blood pool, allowing…
