Comparison of Phase-Screen and Geometry-Based Phase Aberration Correction Techniques for Real-Time Transcranial Ultrasound Imaging

While transcranial ultrasound imaging is a promising diagnostic modality, it is still hindered due to phase aberration and multiple scattering caused by the skull. In this paper, we compare near-field phase-screen modeling (PS) to a geometry-based phase aberration correction technique (GB) when an ultrafast imaging sequence (five plane waves...

Refraction-Corrected Transcranial Ultrasound Imaging through the Human Temporal Window using a Single Probe

Transcranial ultrasound imaging (TUI) is a diagnostic modality with numerous applications, but unfortunately, it is hindered by phase aberration caused by the skull. In this article, we propose to reconstruct a transcranial B-mode image with a refraction-corrected synthetic aperture imaging (SAI) scheme. First, the compressional sound...

Transcranial Ultrasound Imaging with Estimating the Geometry, Position and Wave-Speed of Temporal Bone

Transcranial ultrasound imaging is a suitable technology for diagnosis of strokes as it is safe, portable, relatively inexpensive and available in emergency medicine services, however it currently offers poor image quality due to the phase aberration caused by the human skull. In this work, we evaluate an approach for two-dimensional...
