Experimental study of ultrasonic high-resolution flow profile measurement based on coded excitation

相比常规的声学流速剖面仪,用于人体血流速度剖面测量的超声系统需要更高的信噪比增益和空间分辨率.为此,首先采用编码激励技术来改进传统的测量硬件系统,构造出一种具有"零相关窗"的互补码序列激励换能器发射声波,其优良的距离选通特性能提取出每个分辨单元的速度信息,同时大幅度提高回波信噪比.然后分析提取的分辨单元回波信号的特征,提出基于二维频谱图的邻帧差分法来消除相邻单元的干扰,对预处理后的信号进行高分辨率的速度参数估计,从而得到整个血管区域的速度剖面.通过搭建模拟人体血流测量实验装置进行仿血流的流速剖面测量实验.实验结果表明,采用此方法,在发射换能器的中心频率为5 MHz时,能达到0.3 mm的纵向分辨率,取得良好的测量效果.

Compared with the conventional acoustic current profiler,the ultrasonic system for blood flow velocity profile measurement needs higher signal-to-noise ratio and space resolution.It first introduced the coded excitation technique that was used to improve the performance of hardware systems.A zero correlation window complementary coded sequence was constructed to excite the transducer.Due to its excellent character,the echo signal of each resolution cell was extracted with higher SNR.And then the feature of ...
