Harmonic chirp imaging method for ultrasound contrast agent

Harmonic chirp imaging method for ultrasound contrast agent

Coded excitation is currently used in medical ultrasound to increase signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and penetration depth. We propose a chirp excitation method for contrast agents using the second harmonic component of the response. This method is based on a compression filter that selectively compress...
