The thesis focused on digital signal processing in the field of ultrafast ultrasound imaging. It aimed to propose a beamforming method to enhance imaging quality by adaptively using two factors as signal detection tools for different regions in the image.
Results from applying the proposed method on laboratory datasets and simulation data using MATLAB showed its superiority in improving speckle preservation with a 52% increase in accuracy compared to a previous method. Additionally, the proposed method provided excellent contrast compared to other implemented techniques while maintaining tissue homogeneity.
Two scientific papers were published based on the thesis results. The first was published in the “Journal of Biomedical Photonics & Engineering,” affiliated with Samara University, ranked 98th globally by Times Higher Education (THE). The second paper was published in the “Muthanna Journal of Engineering and Technology (MJET).”
