Whereas pulse-echo ultrasound imaging relied on focused acoustic waves since its inception, the last two decades have seen the development of techniques based on unfocused waves, including ultrafast ultrasound imaging. In large part due to the emergence of ...
In recent years, methods estimating the spatial distribution of tissue speed of sound with pulse-echo ultrasound are gaining considerable traction. They can address limitations of B-mode imaging, for instance in diagnosing fatty liver diseases. Current sta ...

Ultrafast ultrasound has recently emerged as an alternative to traditional focused ultrasound. By virtue of the low number of insonifications it requires, ultrafast ultrasound enables the imaging of the human body at potentially very high frame rates. Howe ...

In this paper, we introduce our recent studies on human perception in audio event classification. In particular, the pre-trained model VGGish is used as feature extractor to process audio data, and DenseNet is trained by and used as feature extractor for o ...
In recent years, there has been notable progress in the development of inverse problems for image reconstruction in pulse-echo ultrasound. Inverse problems are designed to circumvent the restrictions of delay-And-sum, such as limited image resolution and d ...
Several metrics have been proposed in ultrasound pulse-echo imaging to quantify local coherence, with the coherence factor being the most prominent example. However, the coherence factor does not differentiate losses of coherence caused by variations of sp ...

There has been a recent surge in methods targeting the recovery of a speed-of-sound map from pulse-echo ultrasound measurements. We focused in this work on a particular technique and identified a drawback shared by similar methods - namely the necessity of ...
