Medical B-Mode Ultrasound Imaging Reconstruction Algorithms: Evaluation and Simulation
Abstract
Ultrasound is one of the most important imaging modalities in medical practice. It is the most technique development with a lot benefits and with little challenges that include low imaging quality and high variability. Medical field is the most application that exploit the ultrasonic technique widely in body imaging, especially the real time Feature which take advantage of diagnostic time.
This research makes a survey on the ultrasound image reconstruction and Display. First, the Ultrasound Imaging are reviewed as overall studying include the frequency ranges, advantages, main limitations, and applications. Second, the 2D or B-mode ultrasound imaging according to generation steps and mathematic studying are reviewed. Third, the stages of the 3D ultrasound object formation which is the data acquisition, data preprocessing, reconstruction method and 3D visualization, are discussed. Fourth, MATLAB Simulation to create B-Mode Ultrasound image with Synthetic phantom of a fetus in the third month of age, by using Field II software made specially for ultrasound environment, after initializing the ultrasound environment a phantom used to yield the B-Mode image. The complete B-Mode fetus scanned image creation need 5 hours and approximately 20 mins, that each line takes around 2min and 30 sec, with a processor 1.8 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, MacOS. When the parameters of transducer have been changing then the clearness of the generated image the time taken will change in response.
