A Simulation Model for B-Mode Imaging

Ultrasonic B-mode images, as the output of diagnostic ultrasonic imaging systems, are the results caused by acoustic properties inside the human body and a number of acoustic or electrical processings by equipment. In order to estimate a B-mode image and extract useful information for diagnosis, res...

Description
Summary:Ultrasonic B-mode images, as the output of diagnostic ultrasonic imaging systems, are the results caused by acoustic properties inside the human body and a number of acoustic or electrical processings by equipment. In order to estimate a B-mode image and extract useful information for diagnosis, research in the new methods is necessary so that B-mode images can be analyzed quantitatively. For the first step in the development of such new techniques, a simulation model for B-mode imaging was developed. This paper describes the structure of the simulation model studied, and presents some calculated B-mode images.
