Compensated Row-Column Ultrasound Imaging System
(University of Waterloo, 2020-03-12)Ultrasound imaging is a valuable tool in many applications ranging from material science to medical imaging. While 2-D ultrasound imaging is more commonly used, 3-D ultrasound imaging offers unique opportunities that can ... -
Developing measures of muscle health in women diagnosed with breast cancer and in a healthy, young adult reference cohort
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-12)Skeletal muscle health is an important predictor of survival, treatment toxicity, and physical function in cancer patients and survivors. While accelerated rates of muscle wasting are often observed in patients with advanced ... -
An Information Tracking Approach to the Segmentation of Prostates in Ultrasound Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-20)Outlining of the prostate boundary in ultrasound images is a very useful procedure performed and subsequently used by clinicians. The contribution of the resulting segmentation is twofold. First of all, the segmentation ... -
Performance Evaluation of Passive Cavitation Mapping for Estimating Ultrasound-Induced Cavitation Dose
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-28)The development of targeted drug delivery technologies to increase the specificity and efficacy of cancer treatments and reduce the reliance on systemic chemotherapy drugs have long been areas of research. Recent advances ... -
Pressure Wave Velocity Using High-Frame-Rate Ultrasound Imaging for Urodynamic Study
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-16)Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous urologic condition in aging males where an overgrowth of the prostate gland occurs. It notably leads to lower urinary tract symptoms ranging from inconvenient nocturia ... -
Robust Eigen-Filter Design for Ultrasound Flow Imaging Using a Multivariate Clustering
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)Blood flow visualization is a challenging task in the presence of tissue motion. Unsuppressed tissue clutter produces flashing artefacts in ultrasound flow imaging which hampers blood flow detection by dominating part of ... -
Segmentation of 3D Carotid Ultrasound Images Using Weak Geometric Priors
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-29)Vascular diseases are among the leading causes of death in Canada and around the globe. A major underlying cause of most such medical conditions is atherosclerosis, a gradual accumulation of plaque on the walls of blood ... -
Systematic Characterization Framework of Row-Column Ultrasound Imaging Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-30)3-D ultrasound imaging offers unique opportunities in the field of non-destructive testing that cannot be easily found in A-mode and B-mode images. To acquire a 3-D ultrasound image without a mechanically moving transducer, ...
