Volumetric Mechanical Characterization of in vivo Skeletal Muscle Assessed with 3D-Rotational Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging (3D-RSWEI)
Conference IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium Ius · January 1, 2025 We present a volumetric characterization method for 3D-RSWEI data in in vivo skeletal muscle, in which shear wave speeds (SWS) are quantified at multiple rotational angles through multiple axial depths within the depth-of-field. We have shown in the vastus ... Full text CiteIn Vivo Demonstration of a Real-Time Temporal SNR Acoustic Output Adjustment Method.
Journal Article IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency 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, ...
