| Abstract:
|
This paper presents the first non-linear B-mode
image of a wire phantom using pulse inversion attained via an
experimental synthetic aperture real-time ultrasound scanner
(SARUS). The purpose of this study is to implement and
validate non-linear imaging on SARUS for the further
development of new non-linear techniques. This study presents
non-linear and linear B-mode images attained via SARUS and
an existing ultrasound system as well as a Field II simulation.
The non-linear image shows an improved spatial resolution
and lower full width half max and -20 dB resolution values
compared to linear B-mode imaging on the other systems. For
the second scatterer at 47 mm depth the -20 dB resolution
value for the non-linear SARUS image is 0.9907 mm and
1.1970 mm for the linear image from SARUS. |
