Feasibility of non-linear beamforming ultrasound methods to characterize and size kidney stones.

Feasibility of non-linear beamforming ultrasound methods to characterize and size kidney stones.

PURPOSE:Ultrasound methods for kidney stone imaging suffer from poor sensitivity and size overestimation. The study objective was to demonstrate feasibility of non-linear ultrasound beamforming methods for stone imaging, including plane wave synthetic focusing (PWSF), short-lag spatial coherence (SL...
