最小方差波束形成与广义相干系数融合的医学超声成像方法

Medical ultrasound imaging method combining minimum variance beamforming and general coherence factor

  • 摘要: 为了在医学超声成像过程中提高分辨率并修正由生物组织的声速不均匀性引入的聚焦误差,提出了将最小波束形成与广义相干系数融合的高分辨率成像方法。首先对阵元数据进行延时聚焦处理,得到了聚焦后的多通道数据;然后对多通道数据进行最小方差波束形成,同时把阵元数据变换到波束域,计算广义相干系数;最后利用广义相干系数加权最小波束形成的结果,得到回波数据,送入成像系统进行成像。为了验证算法的有效性,对医学成像上常用的点目标和斑目标进行了成像实验。结果表明:本文方法可以通过调节参数来调节性能,在分辨率、对比度以及鲁棒性方面都优于传统的常规波束形成法和最小方差波束形成法。

     

    Abstract: In medical ultrasound imaging field,in order to obtain high resolution and correct the phase errors induced by the velocity inhomogeneity of the tissue,a high-resolution medical ultrasound imaging method combining minimum variance beamforming and general coherence factor is presented.Firstly,the data from the elements is delayed for focusing; then the multi-channel data is used for minimum variance beamforming;at the same time,the data is transformed from array space to beam space to calculate the general coherence factor;in the end,the general coherence factor is used to weight the results of minimum variance beamforming.The medical images are gotten by the imaging system.The experiments based on point pattern and speckle pattern are used to verify the proposed method.The results show the proposed method in the aspects of resolution,contrast and robustness is better than the minimum variance beamforming and conventional beamforming.
