Optimization of medical ultrasound transducers with simulation and genetic algorithms
Authors: Monika Kofler, Andreas Beham, Michael Affenzeller, Stefan Wagner
Abstract
In recent years, software systems for the simulation of medical ultrasound imaging have been developed, thus making it possible to partially prototype transducers in software. In this paper a set of ultrasound transducer parameters is optimized using a genetic algorithm (GA). The settings are evaluated by simulating a B-mode scan for each transducer configuration. The quality of the generated B-Mode images is assessed by an image quality metric.
