NEW SOFTWARE FOR ULTRASOUND COMPRESSION PLATE SCANNER

每九名女性中就有一人会患上乳腺癌。早期诊断和治疗 提高存活率。我们提议的方法的一个独特功能是 超声检查和x射线乳房X光检查可在 同一台扫描机和各自的图像可以配准融合 加在一起。我们将在购买的 Neovision SONOPSY扫描仪：二维折射投影，二维吸收 投影、二维和三维散射数密度图像。这 目前，这台机器在超声引导下进行乳腺活检，并进行3-D 空间分辨率约为1.6 mm的反射率图像 一分钟内体积为300×40个体素。我们将演示改进后的 经过相位像差校正后获得的空间分辨率更高 在我们的lb扫描仪中，我们的5环26段环形阵列上的孔，如 第二阶段SBIR将Neovision扫描仪升级到0.57 mm的准备工作 通过结合F-1.33环形阵列来提高分辨率。我们还将模拟 二相SBIR的局域三维折射率逆成像模式 发展。这些多个图像可以组合在神经网络中或 癌症概率图像。 建议的商业应用：超声波、成像、合成聚焦、 软件，乳腺癌，癌症，反向散射。

One woman in 9 will contract breast cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment increases survival rates. A unique feature of our proposed approach is the ultrasound modalities plus x-ray mammography can be obtained in the same scanning machine and the respective images can registered fused and combined. We will demonstrate the following modalities on a purchased NeoVision SONOPSY scanner: 2-d refraction projection, 2-D adsorption projection, and 2-D and 3-D scattering number density images. This machine presently performs ultrasound guided breast biopsy and makes 3-D reflectivity images with about 1.6 mm spatial resolution within a 200 by 300 by 40 voxel volume in one minute. We will demonstrate the improved spatial resolution obtained with phase aberration correction and larger apertures on our 5-ring, 26 segment, annular array in our lb scanner, as preparation for phase 2 SBIR upgrading the NeoVision scanner to 0.57 mm resolution by incorporating F-1.33 annular arrays. We will also simulate a local, 3-D, refractive index, inverse imaging mode for phase 2 SBIR development. These multiple images can be combined in neural nets or probability-of-cancer image. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Ultrasound, imaging, synthetic-focus, software, breast, cancer, inverse scattering.
