| Abstract | We present an ultrasonic imaging approach that combines harmonic-sensitive pulse sequences with a post-beamforming quadratic kernel derived from a 2nd-order Volterra filter (SOVF). This approach is designed to produce images with high sensitivity to nonlinear oscillations (20-30 dB below the fundamental) from microbubble ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) while maintaining high levels of noise rejection. In this paper, we demonstrate the performance of this approach with a pulse-inversion imaging sequence consisting of two transmit pulses with opposite polarity whose echoes are summed to enhance the even harmonics and suppress the fundamental. This is followed by an optimally designed SOVF-based quadratic kernel for further enhancing the harmonic signals, while maximizing the noise rejection. The approach is demonstrated experimentally using images from in vivo kidney after bolus injection with UCA. Imaging results, as well as the spectral contents of QPI data, show a significant increase in harmonic sensitivity and reduction in noise levels. Implications of this approach on new forms of functional ultrasound imaging are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
