Title
Superharmonic Imaging for Medical Ultrasound: a Review.
Abstract
Ultrasound with harmonics has emerged as an exceptional alternative to competitively low resolution fundamental ultrasound imaging. The use of second harmonic is already a trend now but higher harmonics are also being seen as even better option due to its improved resolution. The resolution improved with frequency but achieves penetration of reduced energy. The cumulative addition of higher harmonics during propagation yields higher harmonics giving better resolution with adequate penetration. This paper summarizes the progress of such similar decade old harmonic ultrasound imaging technique i.e., superharmonic imaging (SHI) geared towards medical field. It comprises of harmonics higher than second harmonic preferably up to 5th harmonic. We conclude that SHI can be an advanced ultrasound imaging with comprehensive high resolution and adequate penetration depth on sole and coded modes.
