Resolution Improvement of Ultrasound Images Using Deconvolution and Super-Resolution Algorithms
Journal Title: Acta Technica Napocensis- Electronica-Telecomunicatii (Electronics and Telecommunications) - Year 2011, Vol 52, Issue 4
Abstract
Ultrasound imaging is a wide spread technique used to view body soft tissues, like tendons, muscle or internal organs for possible problems. These images are achieved by capturing the returned acoustic waves using an ultrasonic transducer. Due to the propagation in imperfect environment, the resolution of these images has a poor quality. This is caused by different problems like waves refraction, attenuations in tissues, destructive waves, bad contacts, and so on. This paper intends to achieve a preliminary synthesis of the most important directions of study for the resolution improvement. We present two important methods for ultrasound image processing: deconvolution based and super-resolution algorithms. Some simulation results are also delivered.
