Improved Spatiotemporal Resolution in Echocardiography Using Mixed Geometry Imaging Sequences

Cardiac ultrasound seeks to image the most dynamic environment in the body-the moving heart. Many modern ultrasound imaging techniques address the tradeoff between spatial and temporal resolution using either narrow focused beams or with broad beam, synthetic aperture (SA) sequences that have been s...

520 |a Cardiac ultrasound seeks to image the most dynamic environment in the body-the moving heart. Many modern ultrasound imaging techniques address the tradeoff between spatial and temporal resolution using either narrow focused beams or with broad beam, synthetic aperture (SA) sequences that have been shown to suffer from motion artifacts. Retrospective encoding for conventional ultrasound sequences (REFoCUS) unifies the processing of these various geometric sequences, but the motion sensitivity of this approach has yet to be investigated. We hypothesize that a "mixed sequence" enabled by the REFoCUS method incorporating several beam geometries may better resolve cardiac motion over a wide field of view (FOV) and at a high frame rate. First, the motion sensitivity of REFoCUS was evaluated in simulation for several focused and broad transmit profiles. Focused transmissions resolve both lateral and axial motion much more effectively than broad transmissions, with performance similar to conventional beamforming techniques. Second, a mixed sequence was designed that insonifies the full field-of-view with plane wave (PW) transmissions and key moving targets with focused transmissions. This mixed sequence was tested in simulation and in vivo and was used to image the heart as well as the liver, a low-motion control. By combining a sparse PW sequence ( n=60 ) with a small group of targeted focused transmissions ( n = 10), the anterior mitral valve leaflet (AML) at its peak observed velocity was better resolved. We believe that mixed sequences have strong potential to resolve cardiac motion at clinically relevant frame rates
