Book Description
Recent advances in ultrafast contrast imaging have facilitated innovations such as super-resolutionimaging and ultrafast contrast-enhanced Doppler imaging (Chapter 1). It has become evident that combining ultrafast imaging with tissue harmonic imaging (THI) may offer improvements in image quality in clinical areas such as 4D THI and harmonic color flow (Chapter 1). In the first half of this work, we investigated the feasibility of combining ultrafast imaging with THI. We began with developing a numerical solution based on the Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov (KZK) to model the nonlinear propagation of sound beams produced by diagnostic arrays in tissue (Chapter 2). We then expanded our research for ultrafast THI and investigated the harmonic generation of a matrix array for identifying optimal beamforming strategies for 4D cardiac THI (Chapter 3). In the second half of this work, we proposed imaging approaches for improving tissue signal suppression and contrast sensitivity for ultrafast contrast imaging. We began with investigating the linear signal cancellation (tissue signal suppression) performance of the Verasonics research ultrasound scanner and compared it with the Philips iU22 (Chapter 4). We then studied the phase response of the microbubbles and tissue, and presented evidence that unique microbubble nonlinear dynamics can produce a phase response that can be used as a segmentation tool to further improve tissue signal suppression in contrast imaging (Chapter 5). Finally, we identified an aperture pattern for AM that improves the tissue signal suppression compared to the conventional AM. We also demonstrated that the additional phase response induced by the spatial difference between complementary half amplitude fields in OAM pulse sequences is useful for improving phase segmentation and image contrast (Chapter 6). We concluded with a summary of all the results and accomplishments and future directions of this work (Chapter 7).

Book Description
Echocardiography is essential in the practice of pediatric cardiology. A clinical pediatric cardiologist is expected to be adept at the non-invasive diagnosis of congenital heart disease and those who plan to specialize in echocardiography will need to have knowledge of advanced techniques. Echocardiography in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease addresses the needs of trainees and practitioners in this field, filling a void caused by the lack of material in this fast-growing area. This new title comprehensively covers the echocardiographic assessment of congenital heart disease, from the fetus to the adult, plus acquired heart disease in children. Topics covered include: ultrasound physics laboratory set-up a protocol for a standard pediatric echocardiogram quantitative methods of echocardiographic evaluation, including assessment of diastolic function in depth coverage of congenital cardiovascular malformations acquired pediatric heart disease topics of special interest, such as 3D echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and fetal echocardiography The approach of this book is a major advancement for educational materials in the field of pediatric cardiology, and greatly enhances the experience for the reader. An accompanying DVD with moving images of the subjects covered in the textbook will further enhance the learning experience.

Book Description
Essentials of Ultrasound Imaging offers a fast track introduction to the science, physics and technology of ultrasound imaging systems. Uniquely, principles are revealed by examples from software simulation programs, thus allowing the reader to engage with the concepts having minimal mathematical background. The material is organized around a functional block diagram which is, in turn, related to physical processes and implementations of the functional concepts on commercial and research imaging systems. Examples from a Verasonics Vantage Research Ultrasound System provide unparalleled insight into each step of ultrasound image creation including signal processing, transducer operation, different types of beamforming, and image formation. The last chapter examines the potential and capabilities of ultrasound imaging and measurement for future applications. With a thorough grounding of the physics and methods of ultrasound imaging, this book is suitable for students learning about ultrasound and researchers involved, or starting out in, ultrasound research development who might not have the background to understand the latest developments. Gives an understanding of wave propagation, piezoelectric transducers, beam focusing, Doppler imaging of fluid flow, types of ultrasound systems, and real-time image formation and resolution Explains basic mathematical and scientific concepts underlying ultrasound imaging and physics Follows the passage of pulse-echo waveforms through the changes made by wave propagation, array beam formation, absorption, and system processing to image formation Describes the concepts written in MATLAB® that are illustrated by numerous examples from unique simulations of physics, processing, and imaging and from experiments and signals within an ultrasound research system Presents an accompanying simulator software package, in executable form, designed to demonstrate concepts with minimal mathematical background, together with a curriculum of hands-on experiments using an ultrasound research system, both available from Verasonics

Book Description
This book provides an understanding of ultrasound imaging principles and how the field is evolving to better probe living systems. Today, widely-used imaging systems visualize structures and blood flow within the body in real-time. Signal analysis, hardware and contrast agent innovations are extending the capacity of ultrasound to assess tissue elasticity, to enable three-dimensional viewing of moving structures and to detect vessels smaller than the wavelength-limited resolution. Techniques are also being designed so that we are less impeded by bones in the sound path, as well as to combine light and sound to detect optically-absorbent structures within the body. After an introductory chapter reviewing the key basic concepts, each chapter presents a detailed explanation focusing on a specific set of key principles and then shows the related techniques in each domain that are currently being refined to evaluate living systems in greater depth.

Book Description
Ultrasound medical imaging stands out among the other diagnostic imaging modalities for its patient-friendliness, high temporal resolution, low cost, and absence of ionizing radiation. On the other hand, it may still suffer from limited detail level, low signal-to-noise ratio, and narrow field-of-view. In the last decade, new beamforming and image reconstruction techniques have emerged which aim at improving resolution, contrast, and clutter suppression, especially in difficult-to-image patients. Nevertheless, achieving a higher image quality is of the utmost importance in diagnostic ultrasound medical imaging, and further developments are still indispensable. From this point of view, a crucial role can be played by novel beamforming techniques as well as by non-conventional image formation techniques (e.g., advanced transmission strategies, and compounding, coded, and harmonic imaging). This Special Issue includes novel contributions on both ultrasound beamforming and image formation techniques, particularly addressed at improving B-mode image quality and related diagnostic content. This indeed represents a hot topic in the ultrasound imaging community, and further active research in this field is expected, where many challenges still persist.
