Inverse Problems in Pulse-Echo Ultrasound: Exploiting Coherence for Image Enhancement and Quantitative Imaging

Samuel Denys Beuret

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 ...

Laser Doppler Vibrometer measurements of the 3D pressure field for the estimation of the radiation force produced by an acoustic standing-wave levitator

Amit Yedidia Dolev

Acoustic levitation devices use powerful ultrasonic standing waves to levitate objects in mid-air. We have created a system and method to measure the full harmonic content of the acoustic field accurately. Our study revealed that levitated particles alter ...

Broadband Air-Coupled Ultrasound Emitter and Receiver Enable Simultaneous Measurement of Thickness and Speed of Sound in Solids

Janez Rus

Air-coupled ultrasound sensors have advantages over contact ultrasound sensors when a sample should not become contaminated or influenced by the couplant or the measurement has to be a fast and automated inline process. Thereby, air-coupled transducers mus ...
