Pre-clinical studies of synthetic aperture

The purpose of this research project is to do pre-clinical studies of new digital techniques to improve image quality and and frequency in ultrasound scanning.

The project is a joint venture between the DTU, the Department of Radiology at Copenhagen University Hospital and the private company BK Medical LLC.

More specifically, Peter will study the synthetic aperture technique in combination with three individual techniques to improve image quality in ultrasound scanning of organs. The pictures will be evaluated in terms of resolution, contrast, depth, noise, frame-rate and artefacts.

Other pre-clinical studies will investigate two techniques for improving the visualization of blood flow and synthetic aperture sequentiel beamforming for 3D imaging.
