(author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author)It has been previously demonstrated that applying an aberrating mask for 2D compressive imaging using a low number of sensors (elements) can significantly improve image resolution, as evaluated via the point spread function. Here we investigate the potential to apply a similar approach for 3D flow monitoring. We conducted a 3D k-Wave simulation...conference paper 2023

(author)This paper presents a pitch-matched transceiver ASIC integrated with a 2-D transducer array for a wearable ultrasound device for transfontanelle ultrasonography. The ASIC combines 8-fold multiplexing, 4-channel micro-beamforming (μ BF) and sub-array-level digitization to achieve a 128-fold channel-count reduction. The μ BF is based on passive...conference paper 2023

(author)Power Doppler (PD) imaging has become a staple in high frame rate ultrasound imaging due to its ability to image small vessels and slow-moving flows, such as in the case of imaging blood flow in the brain. Alternatively, color Doppler (CD) can be used to determine the one-dimensional directional information of the blood scatterers. This can help...conference paper 2020

van der Meulen, P.Q. (author), Kruizinga, P. (author), Bosch, Johannes G. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)We consider a model-based ultrasound imaging scenario using a single transducer with a coding mask, and assume that the pulse-echo model is erroneously estimated, resulting in decreased imaging performance. Although the pulse-echo Green's function to each pixel has to be measured to obtain a good model, typically only forward-field...conference paper 2019

Vu, M.N. (author), Broere, W. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)In estimating the effect of tunnelling on existing buildings, the value of volume loss, which is often determined by experience, is an important input parameter. This paper proposes a method to predict the volume loss for various cover-to-diameter C/D ratios in case of shallow tunnelling. By applying a number of (empirical) relation, such as the...conference paper 2017

Vu, M.N. (author), Broere, W. (author), Bosch, J.W. (author)The extent of the influence zone affected by shallow tunnelling depends on the value of volume loss which normally represents the amount of over-excavation and stress changes induced in the soil. This paper combines upper and lower estimates of volume loss for different soft soils and cover-to-diameter ratios in order to identify the extent of...conference paper 2017
