Abstract
En 中文
A new method for grating and side lobes suppression in ultrasound images is presented. It is based on an analysis of the phase diversity at the aperture data. Two coherence factors, namely the phase coherence factor (PCF) and the sign coherence factor (SCF), are proposed to weight the coherent sum output. Different from other approaches, phase rather than amplitude information is used to perform the correction action. Besides achieving the main goal, the method obtains improvements in lateral resolution and SNR. Implementation of the SCF technique is quite straightforward, operating in real-time, and can be added to any virtually existing beamformer to improve the resolution, contrast, SNR, and dynamic range of the images. A programmable parameter allows adjusting the sensitivity of the method to out-of-phase signals, from zero to a strict coherence criterion. The theoretical basis for the 2 methods are given and their performances evaluated by simulation. Then, experiments are conducted to provide results that are in good agreement with those expected from theory and simulation.
