An ultrasound sparse array consists of a sparse distribution of elements over a 2-D aperture.
Such an array is typically characterized by a limited number of elements, which in most …

Row–column (RC) arrays have the potential to yield full 3-D ultrasound imaging with a
greatly reduced number of elements compared to fully populated arrays. They, however …

Open platform (OP) ultrasound systems are aimed primarily at the research community. They
have been at the forefront of the development of synthetic aperture, plane wave, shear wave …

High-frame-rate 3-D ultrasound imaging technology combined with super-resolution
processing method can visualize 3-D microvascular structures by overcoming the diffraction …

Open scanners offer an increasing support to the ultrasound researchers who are involved
in the experimental test of novel methods. Each system presents specific performance in …

The current high interest in 3-D ultrasound imaging is pushing the development of 2-D
probes with a challenging number of active elements. The most popular approach to limit …

Three dimensional ultrasound (3-D US) imaging methods based on 2-D array probes are
increasingly investigated. However, the experimental test of new 3-D US approaches is …

The standard technique used by commercial medical ultrasound systems to form B-mode
images is delay and sum (DAS) beamforming. However, DAS often results in limited image …

Full matrix arrays are excellent tools for 3-D ultrasound imaging, but the required number of
active elements is too high to be individually controlled by an equal number of scanner …

ABSTRACT Industry 4.0 (I4. 0) describes the current revolution of the industrial world with a
strong impact on the complete production sector. Data about production processes and the …
