Experimental evaluation of spatial resolution in low-frequency parametric ultrasound image
Hideyuki Nomura (UEC) US2017-2
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The penetration depth of high-frequency ultrasound is limited since the ultrasound at high frequency is much attenuated by medium viscosity, therefore, the available depth of high-frequency ultrasound image becomes shallow. We have proposed low-frequency ultrasound imaging using low-frequency parametric ultrasound applied by pulse compression to resolve this problem. In this study, in order to evaluate the range resolution of the proposed method, imaging for brass rods straightly aligned with different distances using the low-frequency parametric ultrasonic was attempted. An image obtained by the low-frequency parametric sound with a chirp bandwidth of 100-500 kHz applied by pulse compression indicated the separation of the most closed brass rods with the distance of 1 mm, and this resolution agrees well with the theoretical value. In addition, the comparison with the image obtained by high-frequency ultrasound showed the image of rod behind overlapped rods. This result suggests the benefit of the proposed method.
