We are trying to image inside the skull with USCT with the goal of examination of acute stroke during the emergency conveyance. For transcranial USCT, attenuation and phase distortion after the pass through the skull would degrade its imaging performance. The purpose of this study is to establish the reconstruction method for the transcranial USCT through the process of a frequency...

48. Multi-perspective ultrasound imaging of abdominal aortas

Ultrasound functional imaging of large vessels is challenged by regional low contrast of the wall. Moreover, displacement tracking in the lateral direction suffers from poor lateral resolution. These challenges can be tackled in superficial vasculature with beam steering and compounding. However, in deep vessels like the abdominal aorta, beam steering is not possible because the aorta will not...
