| Abstract | Time-delay estimation is made using echoes from a user-selected target region, to which the transmit focus is applied to maximize signal coherence. The estimated time-delay profile is split into 2 components using a least-squares fitting: one component indicates an effective speed of sound, while the other is the residual time-delay error. On subsequent transmit and receive beamforming, the compensation can be made using the first component through modifying normal beamforming calculations, or, in addition, with the second component applied as well. These modifications were made in near real-time on the Elegra/spl trade/, and were used to perform breast scanning on 7 patients. Images from the clinical scanning will be presented, along with the corresponding channel data and the estimated time-delay profiles. The results indicate that the compensation scheme resulted in significant improvement in image quality in some cases, while in some other cases, the effect is weak or unstable. One of the causes is that the selected target region may contain a cluster of a few strong scatterers and exhibit complex scattering signatures that are mistaken as propagation distortion. Other causes include the isoplanatic patch size, the elevation dimension of each array element, and the limitation of time-delay correction. These causes will be demonstrated using data obtained from clinical scanning and phantom measurements. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
