Abstract

Biomedical imaging Biomedical transducers Blood flow Breast tumors Imaging phantoms Medical diagnostic imaging Phased arrays Scattering Silicon compounds Ultrasonic imaging
The authors show that when mechanical scanning used in color flow mapping is controlled using a stepper motor, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio is improved because the uncancelled signal due to the transducer scanning effect is reduced. As a result, color flow mapping may be extended to the imaging of small vessels and under weakly scattering, low-flow-rate conditions. Experimental results obtained using a Doppler phantom with a neoprene simulated vessel of 0.6-cm internal diameter are presented.< >
