Embodiment Construction

[0084] 5.1 Background of 1st and 3rd order scattering

[0085] Exemplary embodiments according to the invention are presented below.

[0086] The method and the structure of the apparatus are applicable to both electromagnetic (EM) and elastic (EL) waves, and to a wide frequency range with a wide range of applications. For EL waves, the method and apparatus can be applied to shear and compression waves in the infrasonic, sonic, and ultrasonic frequency ranges. In the embodiments, ultrasound measurements or imaging for both technical and medical applications are described by way of example. This description is for illustrative purposes only and is not meant to be limiting of the invention, which is defined in its broadest aspect by the claims appended hereto.

[0087] Most unwanted noise in pulse-echo measurements and imaging originates from multiple scattering of the transmitted pulse. This noise is called multiple scattering noise or impulse reverberation noise. Since for e...

Abstract

The invention presents methods and instrumentation for measurement or imaging of a region of an object with waves of a general nature, for example electromagnetic (EM) and elastic (EL) waves, where the material parameters for wave propagation and scattering in the object depend on the wave field strength. The invention specially addresses suppression of 3rd order multiple scattering noise, referred to as pulse reverberation noise, and also suppression of linear scattering components to enhanced signal components from nonlinear scattering. The pulse reverberation noise is divided into three classes where the invention specially addresses Class I and Class II 3rd order multiple scattering that are generated from the same three scatterers, but in opposite sequence.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The present invention is directed to real-time ultrasound imaging of the heart, and visualization and analysis of images for detection of regional defects in myocardial (MC) systolic and diastolic function. 2. Background technology [0002] Material properties that determine electromagnetic (EM) or elastic (EL) wave propagation and scattering in a material typically show a variation with field strength in the wave. Such materials are said to be nonlinear and cause nonlinear wave propagation and nonlinear scattering of both EM and EL waves. Measurement or imaging of nonlinear scattering sources is useful in many situations to identify the properties of such materials. [0003] Both the forward wave propagation and the local scattering of EM or EL waves have mathematical similarities, and the methods and instruments used for imaging therefore have similar structures. Examples of the use of EL waves are material inspection with both shear and compres...
