尽管在研究中长期以来一直在研究使用超声平面波传输而不是逐行聚焦束传输，但直到最近才通过基于图形处理单元（GPU）的平台的开发使该技术的临床应用成为可能。除了技术突破之外，使用平面或发散波传输还可以在大视场内实现超快帧速率（通常快于每秒1000帧）。这一概念也激发了全新成像模式的出现，这些模式对于基于超声的筛查、诊断和治疗监测都很有价值。在这篇综述文章中，我们介绍了超快成像的基本原理和实现。特别是，现在和未来的应用超快成像在生物医学超声的说明和讨论。
Although the use of ultrasonic plane-wave transmissions rather than line-per-line focused beam transmissions has been long studied in research, clinical application of this technology was only recently made possible through developments in graphical processing unit (GPU)-based platforms. Far beyond a technological breakthrough, the use of plane or diverging wave transmissions enables attainment of ultrafast frame rates (typically faster than 1000 frames per second) over a large field of view. This concept has also inspired the emergence of completely novel imaging modes which are valuable for ultrasound-based screening, diagnosis, and therapeutic monitoring. In this review article, we present the basic principles and implementation of ultrafast imaging. In particular, present and future applications of ultrafast imaging in biomedical ultrasound are illustrated and discussed.
