For ultrasound multi-angle plane wave (PW) imaging, the coherent PW compounding (CPWC) method provides limited image quality because of its conventional delay-and-sum beamforming. The delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) method is a coherence-based algorith...
Delay multiply and sum beamforming (DMAS) is a non-linear method used in ultrasound imaging which offers superior performance to conventional delay and sum beamforming (DAS). While the combination of DMAS and coherence factor (CF) can further improve...
Ultrasonic multi-angle plane-wave (PW) coherent compounding relies on delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming of two-dimensional (2D) echo matrix in both the dimensions PW transmit angle and receiving channel to construct each image pixel. Due to the charact...
Confocal Microwave Imaging (CMI) for the early detection of breast cancer has been under development for over two decades and is currently going through early-phase clinical evaluation. The image reconstruction algorithm is a key signal processing co...
Finite impulse response (FIR) filters are explicitly used in decisive applications such as communication and signal processing areas. Advancement in the latest technologies necessitates specific designs with optimal characteristics. This research wor...
Three-dimensional passive acoustic mapping (PAM) with matrix arrays typically suffers from high demands on the receiving electronics and high computational load. In our study, we investigated, both numerically and experimentally, the influence of mat...
In this study, a novel improved ultra-wideband (UWB) antipodal Vivaldi antenna suitable for breast cancer detection via microwave imaging was designed. The antenna was made more directional by adding three pairs of nestings to the antenna fins by add...
