휴대용 초음파진단기를 위한 펄스 도플러 갭 필링 알고리즘의 개선

Abstract

In this paper, we studied on Doppler gap-filling algorithms suitable for a portable or low-cost medical ultrasound imaging system, and as a result, found out algorithms based on mirroring or autoregressive model. Moreover, controlling the computational demand in the proper range, we improved the performances of these algorithms by solving their problems. Effectiveness of these modified algorithms is verified by computer simulations and experiments which used artificially generated Doppler signals and Doppler data acquired from human body through an actual ultrasound system.
