Abstract

Abstract High-frequency Ultrasonic imaging can promote high-resolution images and detailed diagnostic information, which has great clinical application prospects. However, due to the difficulty and high cost of high-frequency multi-channel ultrasound systems and multi-array element transducers, it is not conducive to popularization. Mechanical scanning high-frequency ultrasound imaging system is an alternative and low-cost method. However, current mechanical scanning systems cannot perform ultrasound flow imaging, and hemodynamic information is clinically important. Therefore, an improved high-frequency, miniaturized mechanical scanning system for color flow imaging was designed and developed. The system uses a crank linkage structure to drive a miniature transducer with a center frequency of 12 MHz for reciprocating scanning imaging within a range of 15 mm. By optimizing the clutter filter and dynamic domain flow imaging process, two methods are realized: real-time rapid ultrasound imaging and highly sensitive ultrasound flow imaging. The two optimized methods used power Doppler and color flow Doppler for flow phantom imaging, and the final measured blood flow error was less than 5%, which indicates that the mechanical scanning high-frequency ultrasonic color flow imaging system has a good application prospect.
