Field II 超声线阵成像系列3——分段聚焦成像

        单点聚焦扫描成像在焦点处分辨率、信噪比更强,但是在远离焦点区域处成像质量不高,伪影大、信噪比低。但分段聚焦扫描成像可在不同成像深度处分别聚焦,以在不同成像深度形成高质量的超声图像,相对的超声发射次数增多使得成像的帧频降低。

         以下是分段聚焦示意图:

        在重建时只需根据不同成像深度选择数据即可,传统聚焦与分段聚焦仿真结果如下(本文仿真程序均不涉及加变迹窗):

        由结果可知分段聚焦成像在不同深度下的分辨率均优于单点聚焦成像,但相对的帧频较单点聚焦降低了3倍

matlab超声模拟系统 field II, JAJ 开发。 The Field program system uses the concept of spatial impulse responses as developed by Tupholme and Stepanishen in a series of papers [1, 2, 3]. The approach relies on linear systems theory to find the ultrasound field for both the pulsed and continuous wave case. This is done through the spatial impulse response. This response gives the emitted ultrasound field at a specific point in space as function of time, when the transducer is excitated by a Dirac delta function. The field for any kind of excitation can then be found by just convolving the spatial impulse response with the excitation function. The impulse response will vary as a function of position relative to the transducer, hence the name spatial impulse response. The received response from a small oscillating sphere can be found by acoustic reciprocity. The spatial impulse response equals the received response for a spherical wave emitted by a point. The total received response in pulse-echo can, thus, be found by convolving the transducer excitation function with the spatial impulse response of the emitting aperture, with the spatial impulse response of the receiving aperture, and then taking into account the electro-mechanical transfer function of the transducer to yield the received voltage trace. An explanation and rigorous proof of this can be found in [4] and [5]. Any excitation can be used, since linear systems theory is used. The result for the continuous wave case is found by Fourier transforming the spatial impulse response for the given frequency. The approach taken here can, thus, yield all the diffent commenly found ultrasound fields for linear propagation.
