1. A flexible multichannel FPGA and PC-Based ultrasound system for medical imaging research: initial phantom experiments
IntroductionIn this paper, we present the initial results of a fully programmable 128-channel FPGA and PC-based system that has been developed for medical ultrasound (US) imaging research in our University laboratory (Federal University of Technology - Paraná, Brazil).MethodsIn order to demonstrate the feasibility of the US research system, two applications

2. Segmentação de imagens ultrassonográficas para detecção de nódulos / Segmentation of ultrasound images to detect nodules
Breast cancer is one of the main health problems of the female population and should be faced as an important public health care issue. The ultrasound scanning is considered the most effective in complementary method of breast diagnosis. Nevertheless, the acquisition format of this sort degrades the images in various ways, being the speckle noise of noticeab

3. Avaliação da lubrificação de rolamentos de motores elétricos por ultrassom / Evaluation of electrical motor bearing lubrication using ultrasound technique
A crescente utilização de técnicas de manutenção preditiva pela indústria exige cada vez mais o aprimoramento dos procedimentos capazes de fornecer informações sobre o estado de um equipamento. Torna-se imperativo, desta forma, não apenas saber quando um equipamento ou componente mecânico irá falhar, mas também, entender o comportamento deste, di

4. Non-parametric edge detection in speckled imagery
This thesis proposes a non-parametric technique for boundary detection in speckled imagery. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), sonar, B-ultrasound and laser imagery is corrupted by a signal-dependent non-additive noise called speckle. Several statistical models have been proposed to describe such a noise, thus of specialized techniques for image improvement and

5. Performance evaluation of 3D computer vision techniques
This work presents the implementation and comparison of three different techniques of three-dimensional computer vision as follows: • Stereo vision - correlation between two 2D images • Sensorial fusion - use of different sensors: camera 2D + ultrasound sensor (1D); • Structured light The computer vision techniques herein presented took into considerat

6. Noise injection for training artificial neural networks: A comparison with weight decay and early stopping
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a noise injection method on the “overfitting” problem of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in two-class classification tasks. The authors compared ANNs trained with noise injection to ANNs trained with two other methods for avoiding overfitting: weight decay and early stopping. They also evaluate

7. Ultrasound induced improvement in optical coherence tomography (OCT) resolution
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a rapidly emerging technology for high-resolution biomedical imaging. The axial resolution of this technology is determined by the bandwidth of the source. Commercial sources generally provide resolutions of 10–20 μm whereas laboratory-based solid state lasers have resolutions of ≈4 μm. The resolution in tissue dep

8. Vibro-acoustography: An imaging modality based on ultrasound-stimulated acoustic emission
We describe theoretical principles of an imaging modality that uses the acoustic response of an object to a highly localized dynamic radiation force of an ultrasound field. In this method, named ultrasound-stimulated vibro-acoustography (USVA), ultrasound is used to exert a low-frequency (in kHz range) force on the object. In response, a portion of the objec
