3D Carotid Artery Flow Imaging Using Compressive Sensing with a Spatial Coding Mask: A Simulation Study

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...

Compressive Imaging with Spatial Coding Masks on Low Number of Elements: An Emulation Study

We intend to develop an ultrasound compressive imaging device to perform carotid artery (CA) function and flow monitoring/imaging by using just a few single element transducers equipped with spatial coding masks. The spatially unique impulse responses can be exploited in compressive reconstructions. To explore the potential of different...

Efficient and Flexible Spatiotemporal Clutter Filtering of High Frame Rate Images Using Subspace Tracking

Current methods to measure blood flow using ultrafast Doppler imaging often make use of a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The SVD has been shown to be an effective way to remove clutter signals associated with slow moving tissue. Conventionally, the SVD is calculated from an ensemble of frames, after which the first dominant eigenvectors...
