  • Patent number: 12019156
    Abstract: A method for ultrasound data processing includes transmitting an ultrasound excitation signal from each element of a transducer array and receiving a response signal from each element of a transducer array. Each response signal corresponds to a respective channel. Each response signal is sampled at one or more time points in the response signal to create a plurality of samples, each sample corresponding to a channel and a time point. The samples are divided into at least two groups. Response signals from the first group are beamformed and response signals from the second group are beamformed separately. The process is repeated over multiple data frames. The beamformed signals of each group are correlated over the multiple data frames and beamformed signals having a lower degree of correlation or negative correlation are selectively attenuated. An image output is generated from the correlation output.

  • Publication number: 20100148798
    Abstract: An apparatus 10 for electrical impedance imaging of an object 12 comprises first and second electrode arrangements 14, 16 spaced apart to define an imaging region 24 therebetween. An object 12 to be imaged is locatable, in use, in the imaging region 24 so that impedance data can be collected from the object 12 using the first and second electrode arrangements 14, 16 to permit the construction of an impedance image of the object 12.
