Sound Velocity Estimation and Beamform Correction by Simultaneous Multimodality Imaging with Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance

Sound Velocity Estimation and Beamform Correction by Simultaneous Multimodality Imaging with Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance

Since the sound velocity for medical ultrasound imaging is usually set at 1540 m/s, the ultrasound imaging of a patient with a thick layer of subcutaneous fat is degraded due to variations in the sound velocity. This study proposes a method of compensating for image degradation to correct beamformin...
