Improving image quality of diagnostic ultrasound by using the safe use time model with the dynamic safety factor and the effect of the exposure time on the image quality

Resolution and penetration are primary criteria for image quality of diagnostic ultrasound. In theory (and usually in practice), the maximum depth of imaging in a tissue increases as power (pressure) is increased. Alternatively, at a particular effective penetration, an increased power may be used to allow a higher ultrasound frequency for higher resolution and tissue contrast. Recently, Karagoz and Kartal [29] proposed a safety parameter for thermal bioeffects of diagnostic ultrasound; that is, SUT (safe use time). The SUT model is constructed to determine how long one piece of tissue can be insonated safely according to a threshold exposure. Also, Karagoz and Kartal [29] suggested that an increase in acoustic intensity beyond the current US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limit of intensity can be theoretically possible by using SUT model while staying within the safe limit. The present study was motivated particularly by the goals of higher resolution and/or deeper penetration by using SUT model. The results presented here suggest that the safe use of higher exposure levels than currently allowed by the FDA may be possible for obtaining substantial improvements in penetration depth and/or resolution. Also, the study reveals that image quality can be functionally related to exposure time in addition to acoustic energy and frequency.

本文采用多弛豫时间格子玻尔兹曼方法(multi relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method—MRT LBM)对二维顶盖驱动半圆腔内流动进行了数值模拟,得到了雷诺数为500～50000范围内半圆腔内流场分布情况。在二维顶盖驱动半圆腔流场中,随雷诺数的增大,流场内旋涡的数目逐渐增加,且流动依次呈现出稳定流、周期流、混沌流等状态。本文计算结果表明,MRT-LBM模型可显著提高计算的稳定性,适用于大范围的雷诺数流动情况。

A scheme is proposed to controll the decoherence of three-level rf-SQUID qubit with asymmetric potential by designing an external electric circuit for superconductive flux qubit. The results show that it may not only raise the gate speed but also extend decoherence time for a three-level structure.

The RATIO method for time‐resolved Laue crystallography

A RATIO method for analysis of intensity changes in time‐resolved pump–probe Laue diffraction experiments is described. The method eliminates the need for scaling the data with a wavelength curve representing the spectral distribution of the source and removes the effect of possible anisotropic absorption. It does not require relative scaling of series of frames and removes errors due to all but very short term fluctuations in the synchrotron beam.

Effects of time delay on the statistical fluctuations for a bistable system driven by cross-correlated noises

We study the effects of time delay on the normalized correlation function C(s) and the associated relaxation time T _c for a bistable system with correlations between multiplicative and additive white noises under the condition of small time delay. Using the projection operator method, the expressions of T _c and C(s) are obtained. Based on numerical computations, it is found that the delay time τ slows down the rate of fluctuation decay of dynamical variable for the presence of positive feedback intensity (∈ > 0), while speeds up the rate of fluctuation decay of dynamical variable for the presence of negative feedback intensity (∈ < 0). The effects of the delay time τ on the T _c and C(s) are entirely opposite for ∈ 〉 0 and ∈ < 0.
