Harmonic source wavefront aberration correction for ultrasound imaging.

Dianis, SW, von Ramm, OT 01 1900 (has links)
A method is proposed which uses a lower-frequency transmit to create a known harmonic acoustical source in tissue suitable for wavefront correction without a priori assumptions of the target or requiring a transponder. The measurement and imaging steps of this method were implemented on the Duke phased array system with a two-dimensional (2-D) array. The method was tested with multiple electronic aberrators [0.39π to 1.16π radians root-mean-square (rms) at 4.17 MHz] and with a physical aberrator 0.17π radians rms at 4.17 MHz) in a variety of imaging situations. Corrections were quantified in terms of peak beam amplitude compared to the unaberrated case, with restoration between 0.6 and 36.6 dB of peak amplitude with a single correction. Standard phantom images before and after correction were obtained and showed both visible improvement and 14 dB contrast improvement after correction. This method, when combined with previous phase correction methods, may be an important step that leads to improved clinical images. / Dissertation

Avaliação de protocolo para redução da distorção em estereotaxia para ressonância magnética de três tesla / A method for geometric distortion correction for stereotaxic neurosurgery on three tesla

Wagner Malagó Tavares 07 December 2015 (has links)
Introdução: o presente estudo demonstra a aplicação de um algoritmo para correção de distorções em imagens de RM em 3T. Métodos: foi utilizado um Modelo Tridimensional com Alvos (MTA) de acrílico (Micromar, São Paulo, Brasil) montado em uma plataforma com as dimensões e características de um arco estereotáctico. O MTA foi submetido à aquisição de imagens em uma bobina de crânio utilizando o aparelho Philips 3T Magnetom Sigma LX(TM) (Philips Medical Systems, Eindhoven, Netherlands). Para cada aquisição duas imagens foram obtidas, a normal e a reversa (nRM e rRM, respectivamente). Foi aplicado o protocolo de correção com gradiente reverso para produzir coordenadas x, y e z corrigidas. Após ter sido determinada a acurácia dos alvos, foram submetidos 20 pacientes ao mesmo protocolo para determinar a validade em indivíduos. Resultados: a análise dos dados demonstrou que as diferenças entre observadores não foram estatisticamente significantes. Além disso, os pontos obtidos após o processo de retificação das coordenadas no MTA revelou uma distorção média de 1,05 mm. Nos pacientes, a distorção pré correção variava de 0 a 5,6 mm; após a correção variou entre 0 e 3,5 mm. Conclusão: o presente estudo examinou uma técnica de retificação das distorções geométricas encontradas em imagens de RM. Esta mostrou-se bem sucedida em produzir resultados consistentemente acurados para registro de alvos estereotácticos. A técnica pode ser aplicada de maneira universal a todas as imagens de RM adquiridas em protocolo spin-echo e corrige as distorções geométricas presentes / The present work presents an application of a image distortion correction algorithm for 3T MR images. Methods: We used a phantom head model (Micromar, São Paulo, Brazil) mounted on a plataform with the dimensions and features of a stereotactic frame. The phantom was scanned within the head coil of a Philips 3T Magnetom Sigma LX(TM) (Philips Medical Systems, Eindhoven, Netherlands). For each scan, 2 images were obtained - the normal and the reversed image (nMR and rMR, respectively). We applied the inverted gradient correction protocol to produce a corrected x, y and z coordinate. After we ensure target accuracy we submitted 20 patients to the same protocol to exactitude evaluation in human subjects. Results: For all the analyzed data, the differences among the observers were not statistically significant. Moreover, the data rectification proved to be effective as the average distortion on phantom, after correction, was 1.05 mm. On patients the pre-correction distortion varied between 0 and 5.6mm, after correction it varied between 0 mm and 3.5 mm. Conclusion: This study examined a rectifying technique for correcting geometric distortions encountered in the MR images, and the technique proved to be highly successful in producing consistently accurate stereotactic target registration. The technique is universally applicable to all routinely employed spin-echo MR images, and corrects for geometric distortions
