• W3034851096 abstract "Ultrasound (US) imaging systems, although intensively investigated by many research groups worldwide, have not achieved full maturity yet. US probes, in particular, have wide margins of improvement, not only in terms of materials and elements configuration but also of excitation modalities. My PhD work has been committed to the development of electronic circuits and methods for US imaging based on innovative ultrasound probes.First, I’ve developed the electronic circuits necessary to make an open ultrasound research system (ULA-OP 256) compatible with CMUT probes. CMUT technology is increasingly used because it offers wide band, high sensitivity and great flexibility in the design of elements geometry but, differently from the piezoelectric technology, needs high polarization and peak-to-peak voltages (hundreds of Volt). Since ULA-OP 256 was originally designed to work only with piezoelectric probes, I contributed to the development of circuits capable of adapting this open scanner to work also with CMUT array probes. Furthermore, within a collaboration with ST Microelectronics, I’ve developed an electronic board that allows to test a new 9-level power amplifier for the transmission of signals to both piezoelectric and CMUT probes.The second part of my work has been dedicated to the investigation of possible use of “sparse” array probes for 3D high-frame rate and Doppler imaging. Sparse probes are 2D arrays in which a limited number of elements, comparable to the number of channels present in most US scanners, is distributed according to specific geometries, designed to optimize the transmit/receive acoustic beam. CMUT is the ideal technology for implementing sparse array probes, since it guarantees maximum flexibility in distributing the elements into arbitrary positions. My work with sparse arrays has first included the investigation of possible limitations related to their use when they are committed to transmit Diverging Waves (DWs). These are unfocused waves that may notably increase the frame rate in volumetric (3D) imaging. In this activity, I’ve done simulations and experiments at CREATIS (Lyon) to compare the achievable performance in terms of contrast and resolution when different DWs and sparse elements configurations are used. Finally, a consistent part of my PhD has been focused on the evaluation of the use of sparse arrays in spectral Doppler applications. The intention of this study was to evaluate at which extent the sparsification of probe elements may affect the spectral Doppler performance. To achieve this goal, the use of a full-gridded 1024-element 2D array was compared with the use of a sparse arrays obtained by properly selecting 256 elements out of the same full array. The experiments were developed on both a rotating agar disc (where high SNR are achievable) and on a flow phantom (to test a more realistic condition) at CREATIS. The results of this work quantitatively confirm the suitability of sparse arrays for spectral Doppler velocity measurements, provided the poor signal-to-noise ratio due to the use of few active elements is properly compensated" @default.
