Statistical Model of Beam Distortion Due to Inhomogeneities in Tissue Harmonic Imaging

Friday, October 3, 2003 4:00 p.m. Xiang Yan Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin http://www.me.utexas.edu Tissue harmonic imaging (THI) is a new imaging technique in medical ultrasound. The images are created from the nonlinearly generated second harmonics produced when ultrasound propagates inside the body. For many patients, THI improves image resolution…
