ULTRASOUND WAVEFORM TOMOGRAPHY WITH SPATIAL AND EDGE REGULARIZATION

摘要

Synthetic-aperture ultrasound tomography systems and methods using scanning arrays and algorithms configured to simultaneously acquire ultrasound transmission and reflection data, and process the data for improved ultrasound tomography imaging, wherein the tomography imaging comprises total-variation regularization, or a modified total variation regularization, particularly with edge- guided or spatially variant regularization.
