Journal ArticleDOI
An ultrasound research interface for a clinical system
TL;DR: The ultrasound research interface (URI) is an optional feature providing several basic capabilities not normally available on a clinical scanner and its use on three research examples: elastography, computed tomography, and spatial compounding is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Errata - An ultrasound research interface for a clinical system
Shelby Brunke,Michael F. Insana,Michael F. Insana,Jeremy J. Dahl,C. Hansen,M. Ashfaq,Helmut Ermert +6 more
TL;DR: The ultrasound research interface (URI) is an optional feature providing several basic capabilities not normally available on a clinical scanner, and can store high-quality beamformed radio-frequency data to file for off-line processing.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A new approach towards ultrasonic transmission tomography with a standard ultrasound system
M. Ashfaq,Helmut Ermert +1 more
TL;DR: The major consideration behind the novel approach presented here is to make use of a commercially available ultrasound system and to supplement it with an add-on module, the latter being designed to extend the function of the former to realize a transmission ultrasound mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sonohistology for the computerized differentiation of parotid gland tumors
U. Scheipers,S. Siebers,F. Gottwald,M. Ashfaq,Alessandro Bozzato,Johannes Zenk,Heinrich Iro,Helmut Ermert +7 more
TL;DR: The classification system is based on a multifeature tissue characterization approach, using fuzzy inference systems as higher-order classifiers, and can be presented to the physician during examination of the patient to improve the differentiation between various types of parotid gland tumors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Spatial compounding with tissue harmonic images and monostatic synthetic aperture reconstruction
TL;DR: In this article, a high precision mechanical add-on module was realized to implement a transmission tomography system around a commercial analog ultrasound system, which allows the acquisition of RF data of high quality B-scans and tissue harmonic imaging (THI) over the Axius Direct Ultrasound Research Interface (URI).
