We created a new imaging technique that detects and emphasizes turbulence, which is a characteristic of blood flow in hepatocellular carcinoma. We devised two indices that determine a characteristic tumor flow, the bi-directional and low-peak indices

A new method has been developed for measuring the volume flow rate of blood flowing through large vessels or outflow tracts of the heart. In this article we describe the principle of a method that can reduce the dependence of the Doppler angle of flo

An iterative technique is proposed for improving the quality of reconstructions from projections when the number of projections is small or the angular range of projections is limited. The technique consists of transforming repeatedly between image a

An in vivo local sound speed estimation technique, using the crossed beam method, has been proposed and its applicability was evaluated. At first, the potential of this technique was studied by a mapping simulation using the ray tracing technique fol

Detection of myocardial opacification after intravenous injection of contrast is of great diagnostic value. To achieve this goal. we applied harmonic imaging to myocardial contrast echocardiography. Contrast agents emit strong harmonics at double the

We developed a new color Doppler system by which Doppler signals associated with tissue motion can be determined, and called it the tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) system. Using high-speed scanning, the frame rate was 26–38 F/s, and the pulse repetiti

The concept of data selection during image formation is proposed to enhance ultrasonic images obtained by focusing through turbulent media. In this approach, a focused transducer array is used in transmit to concentrate the ultrasonic energy at a des
