On Problem Formulation, Efficient Modeling and Deep Neural Networks for High-Quality Ultrasound Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitris Perdios, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Besson, Florian Martinez, Manuel Vonlanthen

Recently, many pulse-echo ultrasound (US) imaging methods have relied on the transmission of unfocused wavefronts. Such a strategy allows for very high frame rates at the cost of a degraded image quality. In this work, we present a regularized inverse prob ...

Phonon-Driven Selective Modulation of Exciton Oscillator Strengths in Anatase TiO2Nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Enrico Pomarico, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Tania Palmieri, Gerald Auböck

The way nuclear motion affects electronic responses has become a very hot topic in materials science. Coherent acoustic phonons can dynamically modify optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties at ultrasonic frequencies, with promising applications as se ...

Local Structural Heterogeneity and Electromechanical Responses of Ferroelectrics: Learning from Relaxor Ferroelectrics

Dragan Damjanovic

Long-range ordering of dipoles is a key microscopic signature of ferroelectrics. These ordered dipoles form ferroelectric domains, which can be reoriented by electric fields. Relaxor ferroelectrics are a type of ferroelectric where the longrange ordering o ...

A compressed-sensing approach for ultrasound imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

Ultrasonography uses multiple piezo-electric element probes to image tissues. Current time-domain beamforming techniques require the signal at each transducer-element to be sampled at a rate higher than the Nyquist criterion, resulting in an extensive amou ...

1024-Channel 3D Ultrasound Digital Beamformer in a Single 5W FPGA

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Giovanni De Micheli, Federico Angiolini, Aya Mohamed Naguib Ahmed Ibrahim

3D ultrasound, an emerging medical imaging technique that is presently only used in hospitals, has the potential to enable breakthrough telemedicine applications, provided that its cost and power dissipation can be minimized. In this paper, we present an F ...

Ultrasonic driving method

Jacques Jacot

A method for driving a first component (11) into a second component (12) by superimposing a mechanical wave of ultrasonic frequency (18) onto the movement (17) of at least one of the components (11, 12). The method comprises a step of adjusting the paramet ...

Synergistic Coupling Between Electrochemical and Ultrasound Treatments for Organic Pollutant Degradation as a Function of the Electrode Material (IrO2 and BDD) and the Ultrasonic frequency (20 and 800 kHz)

César Pulgarin, Erika Herrera Calderon, Fernando Guzman Duque

Solutions of the organic pollutant model, Crystal Violet (CV), were subjected to ultrasonic, electrochemical treatment and its combination. Ultrasound was tested at two frequencies (20 kHz or 800 kHz) and 80 W in deionized water. After 120 min, 20 kHz cond ...

Use of gas bubbles for ultrasound Doppler flow velocity profile measurement

Giovanni De Cesare, Tobias Meile

Ultrasonic velocimetry based on the Doppler shift effect accurately provides quasi-instantaneous flow fields for fluids with a sufficiently high acoustic scattering level. However, ultrasonic velocity instruments are known to perform poorly in clear water ...

Velocity profile measurements in bore waves

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich

Hydrodynamic waves are an unsteady flow motion generated by rapid water level rise. In nature, such events can be found in dam-break waves, impulse waves and tsunamis. These phenomena are rare, but highly destructive. The present study is based on an exper ...
