In Ultrasound imaging, speckle noise is the most serious problem which affects the performance of images. Non-local mean filter is a nice method to remove the speckle noise, but the algorithm' computational complexity makes it's a highly time-consuming method. In many applications like image-guided surgical intervention, real-time de-noising is required. This paper implements a NLM method accelerated by GPU for real-time denoising of 3D ultrasound images. The experimental results show the proposed accelerated de-noising method is efficient in terms of denoising quality and real-time.

The data acquisition of 3D-Ultrasound includes array scan and mechanical scan, and the later one is more easy to realize. Currently, the traditional probe scanning mode is Front-end scanning. Under the above scanning mode, when it scans over the breast, 2D-Ultrasound probe slides through the surface of the patients' bodies, the image will be influenced strongly by the human *** this paper we propose a new scanning mode to solve the above problem: Back-End scan, the back end rotates while the front end contacts the patients' skin without slide. The device designed using dual stepper motors which are under the synchronization control. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed device.

The intersecting cortical model(ICM) is driven from the pulse-coupled neural networks (PCNN), and a lot of works have been done on it. In this paper, we have proposed a method, which is modified from the PCNN, to retrieval the image. This method uses the iteration times of the ICM as the feature, and we do it repeatedly. So we will get the feature vectors and utilize the features to retrieval the image. And the experimental results have proved the effectiveness of the proposed method. While the proposed method shows some advantages like the feature curves are linear and steady.

Dynamic focus and dynamic aperture applied on both transmit and receive aperture can provide the best possible quality of the B-mode ultrasound image, which is called a "gold standard" image. However, they are implemented only on the receive beam in most medical ultrasound systems because the application of dynamic focus on the transmit beam will reduce the frame rate severely, which has great medical importance especially when tissue motion needs to be considered. Recently, a specific transmit aperture function has been proposed to achieve uniform transmit energy distribution on the axis over a large depth without reducing the frame rate. Although it can maintain the uniformity of the transmit energy on the axis, the energy distribution off the axis of the transmit beam is not satisfactory, meaning a wider main lobe width and higher side lobe levels compared with some general aperture functions such as rectangular and hamming functions. To suppress the interference signals originating from the targets on the side and grating lobes, we processed the received echo signals using the phase coherence imaging method (PCI), which is an adaptive receive aperture weighting technique presented in the recent literatures. Experimental results show that the uniform sensitivity along the axis range has been achieved and image quality on spatial and contrast resolution improved when we use the transmit aperture function combined with PCI.

With the wide use of power conversion devices, harmonic currents are being injected into the power grid. Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) is a power electronic device to compensate the harmonic currents caused by nonlinear loads. As the foundation of the harmonics recognition and compensation, harmonic extraction techniques are becoming more and more important. This paper proposes a new harmonic extraction method based on the Echo State Networks (ESN). ESN is a new type of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), which has much faster training speed than other types of RNN. To evaluate the dynamic system modeling capability of the ESN, the ESN with different dynamic reservoir size are discussed. The performance of the ESN based harmonic extraction method is compared with traditional methods and method based on multilayer perceptron networks (MLP). The ESN algorithm is trained and tested in MATLAB.

This paper gives an overview of three different geometric active contour models with the focus on the application to carotid plaque detection from cross-sectional ultrasound images of the carotid artery. On one hand, basic principles of these geometric active contour models are presented. On the other hand, performance of these models are tested on 16 images and compared with the manual delineations.
