Image Reconstruction in Synthetic Transmit Aperture Ultrasound Imaging
Dr. Yuan Xu
Professor in the department of physics at Toronto Metropolitan University
Date: Friday, November 1, 2024
Time: 1–2 p.m. EDT
Host: TBD
Location: In-person and virtual
Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, Room 240, and via Zoom
Refreshments will be served.
Lecture Takeaways
The main takeaways are as follows:
- Synthetic Transmit Aperture (STA) Ultrasound Imaging data have more information than conventional B-mode imaging.
- STA ultrasound imaging provides novel ways to reduce the noise in images and spectra.
- Quantitative STA ultrasound imaging can potentially provide multiple quantitative information on the properties of biological tissues from a single frame of imaging data.
Biography
Yuan Xu received a Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA, in 2003. Since 2005, he has worked at Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto, where he is currently a Professor in the Department of Physics. His research interests have included the development of multi-wave imaging that combines ultrasound and electromagnetic waves, as well as the study of novel algorithms to improve the image qualities of ultrasound imaging. In the last few years, he has been focusing on quantitative synthetic transmit aperture ultrasound Imaging to image the attenuation, speed of sound, and microstructure of biological tissues.
