Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging

by Hideyuki Hasegawa (Editor), Chris L de Korte (Editor)

Among medical imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) and

magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging stands out due to its

temporal resolution. Owing to the nature of medical ultrasound imaging, it has been

used for not only observation of the morphology of living organs but also functional

imaging, such as blood flow imaging and evaluation of the cardiac function. Ultrafast

ultrasound imaging, which has recently become widely available, significantly

increases the opportunities for medical functional imaging. Ultrafast ultrasound

imaging typically enables imaging frame-rates of up to ten thousand frames per

second (fps). Due to the extremely high temporal resolution, this enables

visualization of rapid dynamic responses of biological tissues, which cannot be

observed and analyzed by conventional ultrasound imaging. This Special Issue

includes various studies of improvements to the performance of ultrafast ultrasound.
