摘要

One of the major drawbacks of ultrasonic Doppler instruments in measuring blood flow is their inability to measure the velocity perpendicular to the beam. Time domain RF echo or speckle tracking has been studied as an alternative to overcome this problem. By acquiring two-dimensional (2-D) echo signals, both lateral (perpendicular to the beam) and axial (parallel to the beam) velocities can be calculated with 2-D pattern correlation algorithms. One of the disadvantages of the current 2-D pattern correlation algorithms is the extensive computation time involved in computing the 2-D cross-correlation function. In this paper, we present several time-efficient bit-pattern correlation algorithms to execute 2-D speckle tracking. The proposed algorithms first estimate the noise level from the acquired signals and use it as a priori knowledge to minimize computation time. The reduction of computation time may make it more feasible for real-time measurements of flow velocities in two dimensions. Radio frequency and video data collected from two commercial scanners are used to validate the feasibility of these proposed algorithms with porcine blood as the flowing medium in in vitro experiments. The results obtained by the proposed algorithms are in good agreement with those computed from the cross-correlation function.
