In Vivo Demonstration of a Real-Time Temporal SNR Acoustic Output Adjustment Method.
Journal Article IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control · August 2024 This work proposes a novel method of temporal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)-guided adaptive acoustic output adjustment and demonstrates this approach during in vivo fetal imaging. Acoustic output adjustment is currently the responsibility of sonographers, bu ...

Conference IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Joint Symposium, UFFC-JS 2024 - Proceedings · January 1, 2024 We present a 3D-RSWEI characterization of anisotropic lattice phantoms. Shear wave speeds versus rotational angle were measured while the lattices were submerged in water and after embedding in a softer, isotropic polyvinyl alcohol cryogel. In both cases, ...

Journal Article Ultrasound Med Biol · August 2023 OBJECTIVE: Increased myocardial stiffness (MS) is an important hallmark of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) caused by myocardial amyloid deposition. Standard echocardiography metrics assess MS indirectly via downstream effects of cardiac stiffening. The ultrasound ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
