Real-time delay-multiply-and-sum beamforming with coherence factor for in vivo clinical photoacoustic imaging of humans [PDF]
In the clinical photoacoustic (PA) imaging, ultrasound (US) array transducers are typically used to provide B-mode images in real-time. To form a B-mode image, delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming algorithm is the most commonly used algorithm because of its ...

New Views: Handheld Ultrasound at the Bedside [PDF]
The events recounted here are true; the name Mrs. Michaels is fictional to protect the privacy of the patient. It didn't add up. She was in shock but denied any symptoms that might suggest the cause. No fever, no chest pain, no dyspnea, no belly pain … nothing. Three hours earlier, Mrs. Michaels had abruptly lost consciousness while seated at her

Pulse-echo speed-of-sound imaging using convex probes [PDF]
Computed ultrasound tomography in echo mode (CUTE) is a new ultrasound (US)-based medical imaging modality with promise for diagnosing various types of disease based on the tissue's speed of sound (SoS). It is developed for conventional pulse-echo US using handheld probes and can thus be implemented in state-of-the-art medical US systems. One promising
