A 2D autocorrelation-based frequency estimator reflecting spatial tissue distribution to improve Ultrasound H-scan tissue characterization

Jihye Baek, Thurston Brevett, Dongwoon Hyun +4

H-scan is a promising quantitative ultrasound technique that estimates the frequency content of backscattered signals and maps the estimated frequencies onto a red/blue color scale…

Lens-Aware Differentiable Beamforming for In Vivo Distributed Aberration Correction with Curvilinear Transducers

Benjamin N. Frey, Robin van Velzen, Hoda S. Hashemi +7

We previously introduced ultrasound autofocusing, an iterative model-based aberration correction technique that estimates local sound speed and incorporates it into beamforming to…

A Wavefield Correlation Approach to Improve Sound Speed Estimation in Ultrasound Autofocusing

Louise Zhuang, Samuel Beuret, Ben Frey +4

In pulse-echo ultrasound, aberration often degrades image quality when beamforming does not account for wavefront distortions. To address this issue, local sound speed estimators h…

Ultrasound Autofocusing: Common Midpoint Phase Error Optimization via Differentiable Beamforming

Walter Simson, Louise Zhuang, Benjamin N. Frey +3

In ultrasound imaging, propagation of an acoustic wavefront through heterogeneous media causes phase aberrations that degrade the coherence of the reflected wavefront, leading to r…
