    Abstract We have studied a noninvasive and quantitative method for measuring the aggregate size of red blood cells (RBCs). In our previous study, the scattering power spectrum obtained from the vascular lumen was fitted to the reference scattering spectra calculated from the scattering spectrum of a single-sphere scatterer. In this paper, we propose a method for calculating the reference scattering spectra by summing the scattering spectra for numerous scatterers in the ultrasound focal region. By applying this method to the size estimation of microparticles simulating RBC aggregates, the estimated sizes are found to be close to the true values. In in vivo measurements, the estimated sizes at rest are equivalent to the size of a single sphere with the same volume as an RBC, and those during avascularization are larger than those at rest, which is reasonable. The proposed method has the potential to accurately estimate the size of RBC aggregates.

    Abstract Analysis of the envelope statistics of ultrasound echo signals contributes to quantitative tissue characterization in medical ultrasound. Many probability distribution model functions have been studied, and the model function that should be used for tissue characterization depends on the type of disease, even in the same organ. Thus, an appropriate model selection is important for an accurate diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to select a model using threshold processing for modeling errors instead of a simple selection by minimizing the modeling error. For this purpose, we compared several indicators of modeling errors using random number simulations, ultrasonic simulation, and phantom experiment. The results validated that the Mahalanobis distance of moments is an appropriate indicator because it enables the use of a constant threshold value, regardless of the type of model function and data length.

    Abstract This study proposes a method for precise measurement of time waveforms of minute sinusoidal displacements using continuous waves. The technique involves measuring the S-parameter of ultrasonic waves reflected from an object undergoing sinusoidal vibration with a network analyzer. When the sinusoidal displacement is not sufficiently small, second-order side peaks emerge in its inverse Fourier transform, alongside the main and first-order side peaks. This method, which incorporates second-order side peaks previously overlooked, enhances the accuracy of measurements. It facilitates precise measurement of sinusoidal displacements ranging from 0.3 to 50 μm at frequencies between 10 and 300 Hz.

    PURPOSE: Here we aimed to develop a minimally invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease and demonstrate that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy improves myocardial ischemia by promoting myocardial angiogenesis in a porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemia. Studies to date determined the optimal treatment conditions within the range of settings available with existing ultrasound equipment and did not investigate a wider range of conditions. METHODS: We investigated a broad range of five parameters associated with ultrasound irradiation conditions that promote expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), a key molecule that promotes angiogenesis in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC). RESULTS: Suboptimal irradiation conditions included 1-MHz ultrasound frequency, 500-kPa sound pressure, 20-min total irradiation time, 32-48-[Formula: see text] pulse duration, and 320-[Formula: see text] pulse repetition time. Furthermore, a proposed index, [Formula: see text], calculated as the product of power and the total number of irradiation cycles applied to cells using LIPUS, uniformly revealed the experimental eNOS expression associated with the various values of five parameters under different irradiation conditions. CONCLUSION: We determined the suboptimal ultrasound irradiation conditions for promoting eNOS expression in HCAEC.

    PURPOSE: Estimating the speed of sound (SoS) in ultrasound propagation media is important for improving the quality of B-mode images and for quantitative tissue characterization. We have been studying a method for estimating the SoS by measuring the reception time distribution of waves scattered from a scatterer at the elements in a probe. Previously, the measurement cross section was assumed to be perpendicular to the long axis of the blood vessel. In this study, we experimentally investigated the relationship between rotation angle [Formula: see text] of the probe relative to the short-axis plane of the blood vessel and the estimated SoS, [Formula: see text]. METHODS: Water tank and phantom experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of [Formula: see text] and element signals when the probe was rotated. RESULTS: The received signal powers at the elements around both edges greatly decreased as [Formula: see text] increased. We introduced a parameter representing the decrease in power, [Formula: see text], in the received signal at the elements at both edges relative to the center element. [Formula: see text] was estimated to be larger as [Formula: see text] increased, especially for [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] also increased as [Formula: see text] increased. An approximately proportional relationship existed between the errors in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. CONCLUSION: Based on these results, we can distinguish between the presence and the absence of SoS misestimations using the difference in power among the elements in the received signal. In the absence of misestimation, we can obtain the true SoS, even if the target has a non-negligible size, by applying our previously proposed methods.

    Background Despite the advances in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, effective treatment remains to be established to improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients with chronic coronary syndromes. This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy, which we have developed as a novel non-invasive angiogenic therapy through upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Methods and findings We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (RCT) pilot trial of the LIPUS therapy for patients with refractory angina pectoris. The patients who received optimal medical therapy without indication of PCI or CABG due to the lack of graftability or complexity of coronary lesions were enrolled. They were randomly divided into the LIPUS treatment group (N = 31) and the placebo group (N = 25) in a 1:1 fashion. The LIPUS therapy was performed in a transthoracic manner for 20 min for 3 sections each (mitral, papillary muscle, and apex levels) under the conditions that we identified; frequency 1.875 MHz, intensity 0.25 MPa, and 32 cycles. The primary endpoint was weekly use of nitroglycerin. Secondary endpoints included stress myocardial perfusion imaging and others. The average weekly nitroglycerin use (times/week) was decreased from 5.50 to 2.44 in the LIPUS group and from 5.94 to 2.83 in the placebo group. The changes in the average weekly nitroglycerin use were comparable; -3.06 (95% CI: -4.481 to -1.648) in the LIPUS group (P<0.01) and -3.10 (95% CI: -4.848 to -1.356) in the placebo group (P<0.01). No adverse effects were noted. Conclusions In the present study, the LIPUS therapy did not further ameliorate chest pain as compared with optimal medications alone in patients with refractory angina pectoris. The present findings need to be confirmed in another trial with a large number of patients. (Registration ID: UMIN000012369).

    Abstract Ultrasound echo envelope statistics have been widely studied for quantitative tissue characterization. In ultrasound measurements, the size of the region-of-interest (ROI) is limited by several factors, such as the locality of the tissue characteristics and the depth dependence of the acoustic field of the ultrasound beam. In this case, the evaluated echo envelope statistics vary even when the envelope amplitudes follow the same population without any noise. In this study, the statistical variance of the moments caused by this finite number of samples was quantified based on the central limit theorem and the law of error propagation. The proposed principles were validated by random number simulation and used to quantify the statistical variance of Nakagami parameter estimation. Finally, the effective number of independent samples in an ultrasonic measurement was quantified based on the relationship between the ROI size and the ultrasound spatial resolution.

    Abstract For early diagnosis of atherosclerosis, we have developed a method to measure the initial minute surface roughness utilizing the natural longitudinal displacement of the intima-media-complex (IMC) on the carotid artery caused by pulsation. However, the IMC displaces not only in the longitudinal direction but also in the axial direction due to the pulsation. In the present paper, we proposed a novel method to remove the pulsation component by spatially convolving a high-pass filter with the measured depths of IMC in the longitudinal direction. The proposed method was validated by a phantom experiment, and the surface roughness with ten saw teeth was correctly measured. Next, the surface roughness of the carotid artery wall was measured for two healthy volunteers. The proposed method reduced the variation of measured surface roughness among beams compared to the previous method.

    Abstract Improving the accuracy of heart wall motion measurement is essential to realise better cardiac function evaluation. This paper proposed a two-dimensional (2D) displacement estimation method with a high temporal resolution using the 2D complex cross-correlation of element RF signals of an ultrasonic probe between frames returned from the target scatterers. The application of the proposed method to the phantom displacement confirmed its principle. The estimated 2D displacement of the phantom was consistent with the set displacement. Subsequently, the method was applied to two healthy subjects to measure the 2D displacement of the interventricular septum during one cardiac cycle. Consequently, during systole and diastole, the movement of the myocardium was measured, and the results were validated.

    Abstract Previously, we proposed an ultrasonic measurement method of arterial wall elasticity for the early detection of arteriosclerosis. Since vascular wall elasticity depends on blood pressure, in this study, the elasticity and viscosity were estimated using the hysteresis loop determined between the incremental strain in the wall and internal pressure by altering the internal pressure in the phantom and in vivo experiments. Consequently, both the estimated elasticity and viscosity increased with the internal pressure. Moreover, the slope of each hysteresis loop was larger than that of the approximated curve for the lowest blood pressures of the hysteresis loops with different internal pressures, as the blood pressure changed in the order of several hertz within a single heartbeat. Hence, we conclude that measuring both the blood pressure and the elastic and viscous moduli would be beneficial in comprehensively investigating more vessel wall properties that change with the progression of arteriosclerosis.

    Abstract The thickness of the carotid arterial wall obtained from B-mode imaging using ultrasonic diagnostic devices is widely used for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis. However, the measurement interval in the lateral direction of the B-mode image depended on the beam interval (>100 μm). Therefore, the B-mode image is discrete in the lateral direction and cannot reflect changes in local and minute thicknesses. A method for measuring the roughness of the luminal surface of the wall was proposed using the displacement of the carotid arterial wall in the lateral direction during one heartbeat. In this method, the lateral measurement interval is much shorter than the beam interval, enabling a smooth measurement of the luminal surface. By simultaneously applying the method to the lumen-intima and medial-adventitia boundaries of the wall, we propose a novel method to measure the local and minute thicknesses of the carotid arterial wall.

    Quantification of the dynamics of the carotid artery wall is useful in evaluating arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis. As the carotid artery wall moves not only in the radial direction but also in the longitudinal direction, longitudinal movement should be considered in the analysis of the dynamic properties of the carotid artery wall. In this study, we propose a "lateral M-mode" method for visualizing the longitudinal movement of the intima-media complex (IMC). For the lateral M-mode, we set the target line in the longitudinal direction along the IMC and visualize the signals on the target line frame-by-frame by correcting the position of the target line along the radial displacement estimated by the phased tracking method. Differentiating the envelope signals between consecutive ultrasound beams was effective in visualizing the lateral movement of the IMC. The precision of the longitudinal displacement of the IMC estimated using the conventional block-matching method was validated by comparing it with the lateral M-mode. Because the conventional M-mode sequence plays an important role in evaluation of the dynamics of various tissues, the proposed "lateral M-mode" contributes to a detailed understanding of vascular dynamics and the development of diagnostic methods for vascular diseases.

    In this study, the attenuation coefficient of blood was measured in vivo in the frequency range of 10–45 MHz. A procedure to correct the distribution of sound pressure in the measurements was discussed. Further, in vivo measurements were applied on the dorsal hand vein of four healthy subjects at rest and during avascularization. As a preliminary result, less variation of the measured attenuation coefficients was achieved by the proposed method. The comparable results of the inclination of the attenuation coefficients were obtained at rest and during avascularization. Furthermore, the attenuation coefficients during avascularization were markedly higher than those at rest, reflecting the degree of red blood cell aggregation promoted by avascularization. This method may aid in the non-invasive evaluation of blood properties reflecting the degree of red blood cell aggregation.

    Abstract Differential bone marrow (BM) cell counting is an important test for the diagnosis of various hematological diseases. However, it is difficult to accurately classify BM cells due to non-uniformity and the lack of reproducibility of differential counting. Therefore, automatic classification systems have been developed in which deep learning is used. These systems requires large and accurately labeled datasets for training. To overcome this, we used semi-supervised learning (SSL), in which learning proceeds while labeling. We used three methods: self-training (ST), active learning (AL), and a combination of these methods, and attempted to automatically classify 16 types of BM cell images. ST involves data verification, as in AL, before adding them to the training dataset (confirmed self-training: CST). After 25 rounds of CST, AL, and CST + AL, the initial number of training data increased from 425 to 40,518; 3682; and 47,843, respectively. Accuracies for the test data of 50 images for each cell type were 0.944, 0.941, and 0.976, respectively. Data added with CST or AL showed some imbalances between classes, while CST + AL exhibited fewer imbalances. We suggest that CST + AL, when combined with two SSL methods, is efficient in increasing training data for the development of automatic BM cells classification systems.

    The heart wall has a multilayered structure and moves rapidly during ejection and rapid filling periods. Local strain rate (SR) measurements of each myocardial layer can contribute to accurate and sensitive evaluations of myocardial function. However, ultrasound-based velocity estimators using a single-frequency phase difference cannot realize these measurements owing to insufficient maximum detectable velocity, which is limited by a quadrature frequency. We previously proposed a velocity estimator using multifrequency phase differences to improve the maximum detectable velocity. However, the improvement is affected by a spatial discrete Fourier transform (DFT) window length that represents the locality of the velocity estimation. In this article, we theoretically describe that shortening the window increases the interference between different frequency components and decreases the maximum detectable velocity. The tradeoff between the maximum detectable velocity and the window length was confirmed through simulations and a water-tank experiment. Under the tradeoff, the Hanning window, which was used in previous studies, is not always appropriate for the local measurement of the velocity, which sometimes exceeds 100 mm [Formula: see text] depending on the subject, direction of the ultrasound beam to the heart wall, and cardiac periods. In the in vivo measurement with the short window, the Tukey window with a large flat part that has a high-frequency resolution and ameliorates the discontinuity at both edges of the windowed signal was appropriate to measure the maximum velocity. This study offers the potential for local measurements of each myocardial layer using the multifrequency velocity estimator with the appropriate window function and window length.

    <p>When the lesion progresses in living tissue, the hardness of the tissue changes. Therefore, quantitative measurement of tissue hardness is required. In this study, the object is vibrated by dual acoustic radiation pressure. We aim to estimate viscoelastic properties by examining the frequency response of the tissue. In this report, we observed the change in the displacement amplitude of the object by changing the oscillating frequency. As a result, it was found that the displacement amplitude becomes smaller as the frequency is set higher. It was confirmed that it decreases with a slope of -40dB/decade between 10 Hz and 200 Hz. This phenomenon is thought to be due to stress relaxation. We will clarify frequency characteristics from stress relaxation function.</p>

    The ultrasonic &lsquo;phased tracking method&rsquo; (PTM) is a newly developed technique in which we can observe the phase difference of adjoining received RF signals. We aim to apply PTM&mdash;which enables precise measurement of the target&rsquo;s velocity with 0.1 mm/s accuracy without restriction of transmitting wave length&mdash;for noninvasive measurements of fetal arterial diameter change, pulse wave velocity (PWV), and estimated fetal pulse pressure. We analyzed normal and growth-restricted fetuses using PTM. The fetal descending aorta was identified in the long axis direction using conventional B-mode with a convex array probe. Raw radiofrequency signals were recorded from the vessel wall of the descending aorta. Offline analysis was attempted for wall motion velocity waves. We employed PTM for measurement of pulsatile fine movement of the fetal descending aorta. Changes in internal diameter and PWV were analyzed. Pulse pressure was estimated from the transformed formula of Moens-Korteweg. PWVs were revealed to be significantly higher in growth-restricted fetuses. We could also demonstrate elevated estimated fetal pulse pressure in growth restriction. Measurement of fetal aortic diameter changes and fetal PWV using PTM is a feasible, noninvasive approach to evaluate fetal hemodynamics. Elevated PWV and estimated pulse pressure in growth-restricted fetuses suggest altered arterial wall compliance by histological remodeling that has already originated in the fetal period. Fetal PWV and estimated pulse pressure possibly distinguish cases at high risk for hypertensive complications later in life, which substantiates Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) theory.

    <p>For the assessment of cardiac functions using ultrasonography, several researchers have reported the efficiency of the two-dimensional myocardial displacement measurement. However, it requires the identification of heart wall areas. It is important to identify heart wall areas automatically for the convenience and the elimination of the examiner dependence. Previously, the heart wall areas are estimated from the echo intensity of B-mode images, and it is difficult to identify the heart wall areas with low echo intensity. In the present study, we propose a novel feature, magnitude squared coherence function (MSC), which is effective for automatic heart wall identification. This feature represents the time changes of the ultrasonic RF signals. We have identified heart wall areas using a linear discriminant analysis with MSC. Most of the identified areas agreed with those with high echo intensity, showing a great potential of the proposed feature for heart wall identification.</p>

    Measurement of cardiovascular dynamics is valuable for diagnosis of the cardiovascular system. High frame rate ultrasound, which was introduced in the 1980s [1], is a promising technique for such purposes. This technique uses unfocused transmit beams and creates multiple focused receiving beams in each transmission. High frame rate ultrasound was first applied to the measurement of the displacement distribution in tissue induced by acoustic radiation force for assessment of viscoelasticity [2]. Recently, we have shown that high frame rate ultrasound is also useful for B-mode, tissue strain, and blood flow imaging [3]. Currently, various methods based on high frame rate ultrasound have been developed for measurement of cardiovascular dynamics [4-8]. In this presentation, recent development in high frame rate ultrasound and its application to measurement of cardiovascular dynamics are shown.

    Flow cytometry is widely used to classify individual cells optically but blood sampling is required for cell measurement in blood. If the principle of the cytometry is applicable directly in vivo, diagnosis of malaria would become easier. However, optical observation of the cell in blood flow is difficult because absorption and scattering of the light is large in vivo. In this study, novel ultrasonic method called "Sono-cytometry" for differentiating cells is proposed. The backscatter signal from the sphere with the diameter of 8 and 10-micron were detected by a transducer with the central frequency of 75 MHz. When the theoretical value is calculated from Faran-Hickling Model, linear approximate slope matched with theoretical slope. When calculating the slope of theoretical value by changing the spherical diameter, the slope value was very different between 8 and 10 micron. The result shows that it is possible that this method can classify spheres.

    More details Close

    When a vibration is repeatedly driven, it is difficult to identify the multipulse driving series from the observed signal contaminated by additive noise; this is the case even when the transfer system is described by an all pole model and its characteristics are known because an unstable nonlinear optimization method, such as pole-zero modeling, is necessary. Thus, an inverse filter is ordinarily used. However, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, even this method cannot estimate the multipulse series accurately. Therefore, we propose a stable method to estimate the multipulse driving series from the observed signal by using singular value decomposition and applying a tapering window. Finally, the principle is confirmed experimentally.

    &lt;p&gt;Since ultrasonography has insufficient performance in depicting the vertebral surface, most examiners perform epidural anesthesia using landmarks on the back without ultrasonography. The final purpose of this study is to improve the performance by ultrasonography in depicting thoracic vertebral surface.RPM method is one of the bi-static imaging methods, it estimates the reflection point on a target surface by intersections of plural ellipses, where the focal points of an ellipse are the position of a transmit element and that of a receive element.We investigated the performance of the RPM method in an experimental study using a phantom with a concave surface of a 2 cm curvature radius. The depicted region of concave surface acquired using the conventional method and the RPM method was approximately 14.8% and 17.7% of the whole concave surface, respectively. This result indicates that the RPM method has high performance in depicting sloping target boundary.&lt;/p&gt;

    Measurement of the elastic property of the arterial wall is useful for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis because the elastic property of the arterial wall is altered by atherosclerosis. In conventional pulse wave velocity method, pulse wave waveforms are measured in the brachial and ankle arteries using cuffs, and the pulse wave propagation speed is estimated by dividing the distance between the brachial and ankle arteries by the propagation time delay between the measured pulse wave waveforms. Therefore, the elastic property obtained by the conventional pulse wave velocity method is the average elastic property in the propagation distance between the brachial and ankle arteries. Such average elastic property would be useful for screening of the large part of the arterial system. However, the regional elasticity, such as the elastic property of only the carotid artery, cannot be evaluated by the conventional pulse wave velocity method. On the other hand, pulse wave waveforms can be measured noninvasively by ultrasound. Recently, the temporal resolution of ultrasound imaging has been improved significantly up to several thousands Hz. Such high temporal resolution enables observation of the pulse wave propagation phenomenon in a local region in, for example, carotid artery. In the present study, the pulse wave propagation phenomenon in the human carotid artery was vizualized using very high frame rate ultrasound.

    Echocardiography is a predominant modality for diagnosis of the heart by non-invasive and real-time observation of cross-sectional images of the heart. In addition, it has been recently shown that measurement of rapid transition of myocardial contraction/relaxation and propagation of heart-wall vibration would be useful for assessment of myocardial function and viscoelasticity. However, such measurements require a higher frame rate of several hundred Hz. Therefore, we realized high frame rate echocardiography using parallel beam forming with unfocused transmit beams. On the other hand, there is another method for imaging, namely, diffraction tomography. It was reported that diffraction tomography realized high temporal and spatial resolutions simultaneously. One of the problem of parallel beam forming with unfocused transmit beams is degradation of spatial resolution, and diffraction tomography may improve this problem. In this report, diffraction tomography is applied to high frame rate echocardiography with unfocused transmit beams, and spatial resolutions realized by diffraction tomography and parallel beam forming were compared.

    Recently we have already observed some phase singularity in traveling excited waves noninvasively measured by novel high resolution ultrasonic measurement of myocardial motion on a human cardiac interventricular septum (IVS) for a healthy young male. To assess determinants of response of dissipative solitary wave interaction in heart wall, we present at least one of the observed phase singularities in the excited waves on the IVS can be explained by BN hole solution on CGLE with one parameter family. However, strictly, these physical model explaining a part of one-dimensional CGLE model (BN - hole ) analysis of the observed phase defects on the IVS are incorrect in a sense of physical point of view. On the contrary, here we have successfully found another new type of cardiac solitary waves resonant interaction together with propagating BN-hole. These dynamical behavior play a crucial role in the IVS wall motion and significantly correlated with dynamical behavior of these elastic QRS complex waves.

    Already we have previously shown that pulsive vibration occurs on the myocardium after electrical stimulation of an isolated heart. In this study, using a novel technique for ultrasonic measurement of the myocardial motion, we detected pulsive vibrations spontaneously caused by electrical excitation and by valve closer. Using a sparse sector scan, the vibrations were measured almost simultaneously at about 10,000 points set in the heart wall at a high temporal resolution. We have successfully found another new type of cardiac dissipative solitary waves resonant interaction together with propagating Bekki Nozaki-hole(BN-hole). These propagating solitary waves play a crucial role in the IVS wall motion and significantly correlated with dynamical behavior of these elastic QRS complex waves. Here, we show, for the first time, that the detailed peculiar cardiac dark multi-solitary waves in the excited waves on a human cardiac IVS play the crucial role in length-dependent force changes of contractile activity when the myocardium exhibits a region of local absolute instability which is sufficiently large.

    The measurement of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arterial wall, i.e., the distance from the lumen-intima boundary (LIB) to media-adventitia boundary (MAB), is important to diagnose the early-stage atherosclerosis since the IMT correlates very well with pathohistologic measurements for assessing cardiovascular risk. In the present study, an echo model was generated based on a transmitted ultrasonic pulses measured with a hydrophone. Since the redundant echo is present in the actually measured echo from the arterial wall, multiple ultrasonic pulses are employed to compose the echo model. The echo model is fitted to the RF signal measured in vivo using the normalized mean squared error (MSE) method where the positions of the models, which give the minimum error of the measured from the model signals, are determined as the boundaries of LIB and MAB. The position of the MAB is determined as the position of the fitted model signal with maximum amplitude.

    In this presentation, we would like to show you the results of the mechanism of the spatiotemporal dynamics of nonlinear waves interactions in which findings of pulsive waves are spontaneously excited by aortic-valve colosre(AVC) at end-systole by using the novel technique for ultrasonic measurement of myocardial motion. The vibrations were measured almost simultaneously at about 10,000 points set in the, heart-wall at a high temporal resolution. We have already found, for the first time, that quantitative analysis of complex spontaneous pulse waves mentioned above requires the development of new tools for identifying and tracking the most important features of activation, such as defect dynamics in heart wall by using phase gradient vector mapping method. We have applied the vector field phase gradient mapping method(VFPGM) by using this novel method to healthy human subject and we obtain the following results: 1) The spatial distribution with regard to the wave form or the instantaneous phase of specific frequency component is shown at every 1.8 ms and then we analyze all of this data by using our PGMM. 2) We demonstrate that dynamics of the singular points on a vector field of cardiac phase measured by the phase tracking method in ultrasonic measurement were successfully applied by the Bekki-Nozaki hole solution of the CGLE since a phase defect on vector filed generates the hole dynamics.

    In line with the fact that the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arterial wall is the most frequently used indicator to diagnose atherosclerosis by ultrasound, it is essential to accurately estimate the thickness of the intima-media complex (IMC) boundaries, i.e., the lumen-intima boundary (LIB) and media-adventitia boundary (MAB). In this study, an improved adaptive model of an ultrasonic echo was developed to realize better fitting of the model to the reference RF echo, which was calculated from a transmitted ultrasonic wave measured with a hydrophone. Using the normalized mean squared error (MSE) method, the improved adaptive model (multiply the sinusoidal wave with the envelope of the reference RF echo) was fitted with the RF signal measured in vivo, and the positions of the model which give the minimum difference between the measured and model signals, are determined as the boundaries of the carotid arterial wall.

    It is important to diagnose conditions of muscle and tendon. However, quantitative and noninvasive diagnosis methods have not yet been established. In our previous study, we developed a method, which used ultrasonic acoustic radiation pressures irradiated from two opposite horizontal directions. This method improves the efficiency of generation of strain by the acoustic actuation. In the present study, an in vitro experiment using a silicone rubber and a porcine muscle tissue was conducted, and the displacement and strain generated in the object by the actuation using ultrasonic acoustic radiation pressure were measured. In addition, we measured the velocity of shear wave propagation inside the silicone rubber using a diagnosis ultrasound system at a high frame rate. We estimated shear modulus of the object by measuring the velocity of shear wave propagation inside the object. This result shows the possibility of the proposed method for the noninvasive and quantitative assessment of elasticity of biological soft tissue.

    In conventional ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, ultrasonic images are composed of amplitudes of received ultrasonic echoes, and it is known that the image quality is degraded by speckle noise. In the present study, the point spread function of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment is investigated as a source of speckle noise and speckle reduction filter was developed by referring to an echo from a point scatterer (fine wire of 13 μm in diameter), which was measured by a 10-MHz linear-type ultrasonic probe equipped to ultrasonic diagnostic equipment (Aloka, SSD-6500). The developed speckle reduction filter is based on the Wiener filter, which controls the effect of the filter using the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a received signal. In the basic experiment, the bandwidth of an echo from a silicone plate mimicking soft tissue was broadened resulting 35.4% reduction of the pulse length. This result shows the possibility of the developed filter for improvement spatial resolution in ultrasonography.

    For noninvasive and quantitative measurement of global two-dimensional (2-D) heart wall motion, speckle tracking methods have been developed. However, an important parameter, the optimal size of a correlation kernel, has not been thoroughly investigated. Moreover, the frame rate in these methods is limited to about 200 Hz, corresponding to the sampling period of heart wall motion of 5 ms. Under rapid motion of the heart, speckle tracking methods may fail to estimate the heart wall motion due to a low frame rate because it leads to significant changes in echo patterns during a frame interval. In our previous study, the optimal kernel size was determined in a phantom experiment and, then, the determined optimal kernel size was applied to the in vivo measurement of 2-D velocities of the heart wall by normalized cross-correlation between RF echoes. However, evaluation of measurement of the strain rate is not still sufficient. In the present study, the determined optimal kernel size was applied for estimating the strain rate and compared with other sizes and, then, the myocardial strain rate was measured so that the myocardial function could be measured at a high frame rate.

    Ultrasonography is a valuable method for non-invasive diagnosis of living organs, such like the heart, by measuring cross-sectional images of the organs in real time. By real-time imaging of the heart, abnormal macroscopic motion and shape can be diagnosed. Furthermore, ultrasonic Doppler technique realizes quantitative measurements of blood flow and motion of the heart wall. As described above, diagnostic ultrasound significantly contribute to diagnosis of the heart. In addition to the conventional ultrasonic diagnostic techniques described above, recently it is reported that measurements of the transient of myocardial contraction and relaxation and the propagation of the heart-wall vibration caused by the closure of valves during a short period (about 10 ms) are useful for assessment of myocardial function. However, these measurements require a very high frame rate larger of several tens of Hertzes that cannot be realized by conventional ultrasonic diagnostic equipment. We have recently developed a method which realized high frame rate imaging of the heart at a frame rate of several tens of Hertzes using plane wave transmission. In this method, multiple focused receiving beams were created within each plane wave to increase the frame rate. However, the angular width of sector scanning was limited to about 40 degrees because the width of a plane wave was limited to emit ultrasonic beams from a narrow space between ribs using a narrow aperture. In this study, a full field of view of 90 degrees was obtained at a frame rate of 316 Hz using spherically diverging beams, which could be realized by a narrow aperture.

    Recently, there have been many studies on the measurement of myocardial strain or strain rate and the three dimensional (3D) imaging of the heart using ultrasound. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of the synchronization by electrocardiogram used for reconstruction of 3D ultrasonic data. Furthermore, the time change of the three dimensional distribution of the axial strain rate in the elastic spherical shell could be measured to visualize the change in contraction/relaxation occurring three-dimensionally. As a result, we showed possibility to visualize the transition of contraction by 3D strain rate imaging.

    Integrated backscatter from heart wall is getting attention as a quantitative tissue characterization method. First, we reduced slowly time-varying artifact component from RF signal and then measured ultrasonic integrated backscatter in the same site of the heart wall at each time by improving time resolution and spatial resolution in the axial direction. As a result, we found that cyclic variations were different site by site. Next, we calculated interference cycle of IB signal and estimated velocity of change in thickness. According to the results, rate of change in thickness manually estimated by using interference cycle was in good agreement with that estimated by using the phase tracking method. These results show the possibility to estimate the rate of change in thickness by using IB signal.

First, we measured a fine wire, that is 13 μm in diameter, using ultrasound equipment of obtain ultrasonic beam profile to examine the optimal kernel size used for block matching based on correlation between echoes. Then, we estimated lateral displacement of the carotid arterial wall that obtained from a healthy 24-year-old male using the determined optimal kernel size.

    [Background] In ultrasonic imaging using diverging transmit beams and steered receiving beams, aperture apodization and spatial combination of receiving beams from multiple transmissions are not sufficient to suppress receive grating lobe artifacts. [Principle] In this study, we proposed a technique of modulating the receiving beams by a factor that is governed by the envelope of a corresponding receiving beam, which was formed by filtering the receiving beam by a zero phase low pass filter with a cut-off frequency that is determined by the receive steering angle. [Results and Conclusion] Application of this technique to offline reconstruction of B-mode images from simulation, tube phantom and in vivo imaging of carotid artery shows significant suppression of receive grating lobe artifacts without loss in spatial resolution.

    In this presentation, we would like to show you the results of the mechanism of the spatiotemporal dynamics of nonlinear waves interactions in which findings of pulsive waves are spontaneously excited by aortic-valve colosre(AVC) at end-systole by using the novel technique for ultrasonic measurement of myocardial motion. The vibrations were measured almost simultaneously at about 10,000 points set in the ,heart-wall at a high temporal resolution. We have already found, for the first time, that quantitative analysis of complex spontaneous pulse waves mentioned above requires the development of new tools for identifying and tracking the most important features of activation, such as defect dynamics in heart wall by using phase gradient vector mapping method. We have applied the vector field phase gradient mapping method(VFPGM) by using this novel method to healthy human subject and we obtain the following results: 1) The spatial distribution with regard to the wave form or the instantaneous phase of specific frequency component is shown at every 1.8 ms and then we analyze all of this data by using our PGMM. 2) We demonstrate that dynamics of the singular points on a vector field of cardiac phase measured by the phase tracking method in ultrasonic measurement were successfully applied by the Bekki-Nozaki hole solution of the CGLE since a phase defect on vector filed generates the hole dynamics.

    In human heart, it is responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. The ability to noninvasively detect regional dynamic myocardial damage related to action potentials and mechanical properties affected by heart disease is of great clinical importance. The most well known are the significant recent development of the ultrasonic measurement of myocardial motion in vivo already found by Kanai et'al, for the first time, by which some pulsive waves are spontaneously excited by aortic-valve closure(AVC) at end-systole(T_0). They measured these vibrations almost simultaneously at about 10,000 points set in the heart wall at a high temporal resolution by using a sparse sector scan. On the other hand, the phase-dynamics approach to the investigation of oscillatory media has played a major role, but it has mainly been applied to only spatially local systems and globally coupled systems. The quantitative analysis of these complex spatiotemporal patterns of activation require the development of new tools that allow for identifying and tracking the most important topological feature of the patterns such as cardiac fibrillation. In this presentation, we have proposed, for the first time, "the vector field phase gradient mapping method with phase singularity(VFPGM)" and would like to demonstrate quantitative analysis of complex self-excitatory wave patterns such as cardiac myocardial motion by using vector analytical approach for this VFPGM.

    [Background] Transverse cross-sectional imaging of the intima-media complex of the carotid arterial wall is very difficult using conventional linear scanning. The extent of the arterial wall that is clearly imaged is very limited. [Principle] In this study, the use of multi element diverging beam from a linear array transducer in linear sequential scanning was proposed. B-mode image was re-constructed from combinations of many steered receiving beams from multiple transmissions per frame. [Results and Conclusion] Using this method, images obtained from simulations, phantom and in vivo scanning of the carotid artery showed that the clearly imaged region of the wall is wider than that of the conventional linear scanning.

    For diagnosis of atherosclerosis, we investigated a method for accurate estimation of roughness on the luminal surface of the arterial posterior wall using its longitudinal movement. Carotid arterial wall moves not only in radial direction but also in longitudinal direction. In basic experiments using a silicone phantom, the change in height of surface at an ultrasonic beam, which was induced by lateral movement of the phantom due to roughness on its surface, was accurately measured using phases of ultrasonic echoes. In addition, the trace, where the axial displacement was measured during lateral movement, was determined using block matching technique to obtain surface profile by combining these two estimations. Using the proposed method, surface roughness of the phantom, which had a convex shape (height:15μm, half-value width:441μm) on its surface, was measured. Height and half-value width were estimated to be 14μm and 424μm, respectively. Proposed method was proved to be able to estimate minute surface roughness of an object.

    In recent years, there have been many studies on the measurement of myocardial strain or strain rate, and techniques for measuring them have been developed. In our previous study, for the estimation of the myocardial velocity and strain rate accurately, correlation kernel size was optimized by widths at half maxima of the lateral profile of an ultrasonic field and the envelope of an ultrasonic pulse at a depth of 50 mm (typical depth of the interventricular septum). However, the optimal kernel size has not been investigated to confirm whether the identified relationship between the optimum kernel size and the ultrasonic field can be applied to other depths (50 mm). In the present study, the optimal kernel size was investigated in detail and determined the optimum kernel size at other depths and 2-D myocardial strain rate was measured by a speckle tracking method so that the myocardial function could be evaluated at a high frame rate.

    Electrocardiography is an invaluable clinical tool for diagnosis of a broad range of cardiac conditions, and clinical imaging tools. The aim of the present study is to visualize subtle features of the initial myocardial response to the propagation of the electrochemical depolarization waves, which corresponds to the beginning of the heart contraction. The three-dimensional propagation of the proximate response to the electrical excitation caused by cell polarization in the human heart wall was visualized by a novel ultrasonic-based measurement method noninvasively for the first time. Visualization demonstrated that at the time of the Q-wave of the electrocardiogram, pulsive vibration is generated at the center of the interventricular septum, and progresses to the entire left ventricle at a propagation speed of about 0.8 m/s. The subtle dynamic response of the myocardium to the arrival of electrical excitation visualized by this approach with a high temporal resolution of 2 ms shows great potential for noninvasive assessment of heart wall damage due to heart failure and desynchronization due to fibrillation.

In this study, a full field of view of 90 degrees was obtained at a frame rate of 316 Hz using spherically diverging beams, which could be realized by a narrow aperture.

    [Background] Transverse cross-sectional imaging of the intima-media complex of the carotid arterial wall is difficult to obtain using conventional linear scanning. The angular width of imaged regions of the anterior and posterior walls is limited. [Principle] In this study, multi-element spherical beam from a linear array transducer was investigated both by simulations and basic silicone-rubber tube experiment. Images of a simulated reflector-tube from simulated scanning and a silicone-rubber tube phantom were reconstructed by multi-angle receive steering and focusing from multiple sequential transmissions stepped across the entire cross-section. [Results and Conclusion] B-mode images obtained by the proposed method showed improvement in lateral resolution as well as increase in angular width of imaged region of the tube's wall. This angular width increases with increase in number of transmissions.

    Ultrasonography is a valuable method for non-invasive diagnosis of living organs, such like the heart, by measuring cross-sectional images of the organs in real time. By real-time imaging of the heart, abnormal macroscopic motion and shape can be diagnosed. Furthermore, ultrasonic Doppler technique realizes quantitative measurements of blood flow and motion of the heart wall. As described above, diagnostic ultrasound significantly contribute to diagnosis of the heart. In addition to the conventional ultrasonic diagnostic techniques described above, recently it is reported that measurements of the transient of myocardial contraction and relaxation and the propagation of the heart-wall vibration caused by the closure of valves during a short period (about 10ms) are useful for assessment of myocardial function. However, these measurements require a very high frame rate larger than 500Hz that cannot be realized by conventional ultrasonic diagnostic equipment. In this study, a method was investigated to realize a high frame rate imaging of the heart at a frame rate over 500Hz.

    Red blood cell (RBC) aggregation, which is one of the indices showing blood viscosity, plays an important role in blood rheology. The purpose of this study is to establish a noninvasive and quantitative method for assessment of RBC aggregation. By dividing the measured power spectrum by that of echo from a silicone plate, the frequency responses of transmitting and receiving transducer are removed from the measured power spectrum. The spectral slope of the normalized power spectrum of echoes from the lumen of the vein in dorsum manus of 24-year-old healthy male was close to those of microspheres with diameters of 5μm and 11μm, and the standard RBC diameter is between these values. These results show the possibility of the proposed method for the noninvasive assessment of RBC aggregation.

    Estimation of heat generation is important in efficient application of an ultrasonic surgical knife to suppress undesirable damage to normal tissue. For this purpose, it is necessary to measure viscoelastic constants of tissue prior to application of a knife. In this study, using a network analyzer viscoelastic constants were estimated by measuring admittance characteristics of the knife with and without being contacted with an object. Measured resistance r and capacitance C of the equivalent electric circuit correspond to elastic modulus G and inverse of viscosity coefficient η of the object, respectively. The estimated elastic modulus of soft tissue (98kPa) was in good agreement with that reported in literature (100kPa).

    Elasticity of the arterial wall is significantly altered by the development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, methods for measurement of elasticity of the arterial wall have been investigated for a long time. For the evaluation of elasticity, we also developed a method to measure the spatial distribution of the radial displacements of the arterial wall in the arterial radial direction. Elasticity of the arterial wall is evaluated by the radial strain obtained by the spatial differentiation of the radial displacements and the blood pressure. In this method, the radial displacement of the arterial wall, which corresponds to the displacement along an ultrasonic beam, is estimated by assuming that the arterial wall moves only in the radial direction due to the increase of internal pressure. However, it was recently reported that the artery moves in its longitudinal direction in addition to the radial direction. Therefore, to estimate the displacement of the arterial wall more accurately, the arterial wall needs to be tracked also in the longitudinal direction. In this study, methods for estimation of the displacement of the arterial wall, including that in the longitudinal direction, was experimentally investigated.

    The main cause of circulatory diseases is considered to be atherosclerosis. Therefore, the early diagnosis of atherosclerosis is essential for prevention and improvement of patient's QOL. It was reported that the endothelial dysfunction is considered to be an initial step of atherosclerosis. Additionally, the smooth muscle, which constructs the media of the artery, changes it's characteristics owing to atherosclerosis. Consequently, it is important for early preventive treatment to noninvasively assess the endothelial function and the mechanical property of the media. In this study, we obtained the stress-strain relationship and investigate the method for estimation of the viscoelastic properties of the radial arterial wall. Moreover, we evaluate the accuracy of this method.

    For accurate measurement of myocardial regional strain rate in the heart wall, which is useful for quantitative evaluation of regional heart function, it is essential to measure the heart wall motion. Speckle tracking method is an available technique to estimate the two-dimensional heart wall motion. However, the optimum values of the important parameters (the sizes of search region and region-of-interest) have not been quantitatively determined. Therefore, in this study, they were adaptively optimized by referring to instantaneous wall velocities. The correlation coefficient between the lateral displacement estimated by the 2-D tracking with optimized parameters in the longitudinal-axis view and the axial displacement in the apical view (corresponding to the lateral displacement in the longitudinal-axis view) separately and accurately estimated by the 1-D phase-based method was 0.93.

    Many studies have been conducted to measure mechanical properties of tissues by applying an ultra-sound-induced acoustic radiation force. To assess mechanical properties, strain of an object must be generated. However, one radiation force is not effective because it also generates translational motion when the object is much harder than surrounding medium. In this study, two cyclic radiation forces are applied to a muscle phantom from two opposite horizontal directions so that the object is cyclically compressed in the horizontal direction. By the horizontal compression, the object is vertically expanded due to the incompressibility. The resultant vertical displacement is measured using ultrasound. Two ultrasonic transducers for actuation were both driven by sums of two continuous sinusoidal signals at two slightly different frequencies (1MHz and (1M+5) Hz). The displacement of several micrometers in amplitude, which fluctuated at 5Hz, were measured by the ultrasonic phased tracking method. Upward displacements at the surface were found when acoustic radiation forces increased. Such displacements correspond vertical expansion due to the horizontal compression.

    Ultrasonic RF echoes from the heart wall and lumen were analyzed in frequency domain in order to distinguish the heart wall from the lumen automatically. Temporal change in complex frequency spectra was evalueted using magnitude-squared coherence function. The coherence function of the RF signal scattered from the interventricular septum (IVS) is high. In contrast, the coherence function in the right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) is low because the scatterers (blood cells) slipped off from the focal area of the ultrasonic beam by blood flow. For automated identification of the heart wall using the coherence function, the optimal threshold T_0 for the coherence function should be determined. In this study, the value of the coherence function at the gravity center of the overlapping part of coherence functions in the heart wall and lumen is determined as T_0. Although the coherence function of the region near the anterior wall in the RV is as high as that in the IVS due to the multiple reflection by the external tissue, the differentiation of the heart wall from the lumen was improved using the proposed method.

    We developed a phase-sensitive correlation method, namely, phased-tracking method, for estimating the spatial distribution of displacements during one cardiac cycle in the arterial wall for strain imaging. In this method, the displacement is obtained from the phase shift of RF echoes between two consecutive frames estimated for the center frequency of the RF echo. However, the apparent change in center frequency occurs due to the interference of echoes from scatterers in the wall when ultrasonic pulses with the finite frequency bandwidth are used. Under such a condition, the displacement estimates are biased and the strain cannot be estimated accurately because the phase shift is estimated for the center frequency of the received RF echo as described above. To reduce the influences of the change in center frequency of the RF echo, we proposed a method in which the large translational motion of the arterial wall is compensated by estimating the displacement of the dominant echo from the lumen-intima interface using our phase-sensitive method before calculating the strain. Although the dominant echo is robust against the interference, the translational motion may not be compensated because the displacement is estimated using the phase of RF echo. In this study, the arterial wall is more accurately tracked by acquring RF echoes at a high frame rate.

    A possible way for the quantitative evaluation of the acupuncture therapy is the measurement of the change in the elastic property of muscle due to application of the acupuncture therapy. Many studies have been conducted to measure mechanical properties of tissues by applying an ultrasound-induced acoustic radiation force. To assess mechanical properties, strain of an object must be generated. However, one radiation force is not effective because it also generates translational motion when the object is much harder than surrounding medium. In this study, two cyclic radiation forces are applied to a muscle phantom from two opposite horizontal directions so that the object is cyclically compressed in the horizontal direction. By the horizontal compression, the object is vertically expanded due to its incompressibility. The resultant vertical displacement is measured using ultrasound. Two ultrasonic transducers for actuation were both driven by sums of two continuous sinusoidal signals at two slightly different frequencies (1MHz and (1M+5) Hz). In this paper, two cyclic acoustic radiation forces were applied to the object to generate strain inside it and the displacement inside the object was measured by ultrasound.

    The endothelial dysfunction is considered to be an initial step of atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is essential to develop a method for accurately assessing the regional endothelial function. For its evaluation, there is a technique to measure the transient in diameter of the brachial artery caused by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) after the release of avascularization. For more sensitive and regional evaluation, we developed a method to measure the change in elasticity of the intime-media region due to FMD. In this study, the proposed method was applied to the measurement of the transient in the mechanical property of the radial artery, and the stress-strain relationship during each heartbeat was measured for more detailed viscoelasticity analysis.

    We have found a phenomenon that the some pulsive vibration with several tenth hertz is caused by the closure of the aortic valve and it propagates along the heart wall. From the measured frequency dispersion of the propagation speed of the shear wave, we have developed a method to noninvasively determine the myocardial viscoelasticity (IEEE Trans UFFC 2005; 51:1931), which would be effective in evaluation of minute change in tissue structure due to the heart disease. We have found a similar phenomenon for the radiation time of the first heart sound caused by mitral valve closure. Before the time, we found that the another wave propagates from apical side to base side, which would correspond to the propagation of electrical excitation in myocardium. Since the conduction property of electric excitation differs among the normal, ischemia, and avascular necrosis, the method has a potential for noninvasively evaluation of the myocardium using both of the viscoelasticity and the electrical conductivity.

    Atherosclerotic change of the arterial wall leads to a significant change in its elasticity. For assessment of elasticity, accurate measurement of the arterial wall deformation is required. We developed a correlation-based method, the phased tracking method, to measure the regional strain due to heartbeat. In the displacement estimation by such a phase-sensitive method, the displacement estimates are biased due to the change in the center frequency of RF echo. One of reasons for the change in the center frequency is the interference of echoes from scatterers in the wall. To reduce this error, the translational motion was compensated in estimation of strain in this study.

    To provide useful information for diagnosis of atherosclerosis in addition to the imaging of morphology using the B-mode ultrasonography, we have developed a method in which an elasticity image is classified into tissue components using the reference data obtained by in vitro experiments. We have already measured the elasticity distributions for lipids, blood clots, fibrous tissue, and calcified tissue. Prom these previous studies, it was found that arterial tissues can be classified into soft tissues (lipids, blood clots) and hard tissues (fibrous tissue, calcified tissue) on the basis of their elasticity. However, it was difficult to differentiate lipids from blood clots and fibrous tissue from calcified tissue. Therefore, we proposed a tissue classification method using the likelihood function. In this method, the elasticity distribution of each small region of interest (not a single pixel) in an elasticity image was used in classification of lipids, blood clots, fibrous tissue, and calcified tissue, respectively. In this paper, the optimum size of the region of interest was investigated to improve the tissue classification.

    It is reported that the longitudinal displacement of the arterial wall is less than 1mm during one cardiac cycle. Such a displacement can be observed in a B-mode image obtained by ultrasonic diagnosis equipment. However, the longitudinal resolution depends on a spacing between two ultrasonic beam of 0.1mm. So the displacement cannot be measured precisely. Recently, there are some researches on measurement of the longitudinal displacement. However, the accuracy is not sufficient because it still depends on the spacing of ultrasonic beams. If the longitudinal displacement can be measured precisely, it becomes a useful diagnostic tool. In this report, the longitudinal displacement is estimated by correlation between RF echoes which are measured by scanning an ultrasonic beam along the axial direction of the artery at a constant time interval. In this case, a spacing between two ultrasonic beams determines the resolution of the displacement estimation. Therefore, the spacing of 0.1mm is reduced using interpolation of RF echoes. It was shown that the longitudinal displacement can be measured more precisely using the proposed method.

    Changes in elasticity of soft tissues are often related to pathology and there is a chance that the tissue characterization is able to diagnose by measuring elastic constants. So acoustic radiation forces as the stress from the ultrasonic beam are used for actuation. In this paper, the spatial distribution of strain generated by dual acoustic radiation forces was measured. Phase-controlled dual acoustic radiation forces (θ=0) were applied by setting the focal points at two different positions in the object. These two applied radiation forces cyclically compress the region between two focal points at the frequency difference, Δf, in the horizontal direction. Therefore, this region is cyclically thickened in the vertical direction. The displacement distribution is also measured with ultrasound combined with the ultrasonic phased tracking method. It is found that when radiation pressure increases, points at depth of 0mm and 4.5mm move upward and downward, respectively. It is found that displacements measured at a depth of 4.5mm was larger than those measured at 0mm. Ultrasonic beams for actuation were insonified along the oblique directions, and the applied radiation forces have components acting downward. It was confirmed that the strain could be generated by applying phase-controlled dual acoustic radiation forces. Furthermore, it was shown that the generated strain was measurable by the ultrasonic phased tracking method.

    Noninvasive measurement of mechanical properties, such as elasticity, of the arterial wall is useful for diagnosis of atherosclerosis. The elasticity of the arterial wall can be estimated by combining measurement of displacement of the arterial wall with that of blood pressure. In general, the displacement of the arterial wall is estimated from the phase shift of RF echoes between two consecutive frames using a correlation estimator with quadrature demodulated complex signals. Recently, digitized data of broadband RF echoes are available in modern diagnostic equipment. The Fourier transform can be employed to estimate the phase of the RF echo at each frequency within the RF frequency bandwidth. Therefore, the phase shifts between RF echoes of two consecutive frames can be estimated at multiple frequencies. In this estimation, due to object displacement, the RF echo is time-shifted in comparison with that of the previous frame. However, the position of the time window for the Fourier transform is not changed between two consecutive frames. This change in relative position between the RF echo and the time window has a strong influence on the estimation of the artery-wall displacement, resulting in error. To suppress this error, the phase shift should be estimated at the actual RF center frequency. In this report, this error suppression was investigated through simulation experiments and in vivo experiments on the human carotid artery.

    Though myocardial viscoelasticity is essential in the evaluation of heart diastolic properties, it has never been noninvasively measured in vivo. By the ultrasonic measurement of the myocardial motion, we have already found that some pulsive waves are spontaneously excited by aortic-valve closure (AVC) at end-systole (T_0). In this study, using a sparse sector scan, in which the beam directions are restricted to about 16, the pulsive waves were measured almost simultaneously at about 160 points set along the heart wall at a sufficiently high frame rate. The consecutive spatial phase distributions clearly revealed wave propagation along the heart wall for the first time. The propagation time of the wave along the heart wall is very small, namely, several milliseconds, and cannot be measured by conventional equipment. Based on this phenomenon, we developed a means to measure the myocardial viscoelasticity in vivo. The phase velocity of the wave is determined for each frequency component. By comparing the dispersion of the phase velocity with the theoretical one of the Lamb wave, which propagates along the viscoelastic plate (heart wall) immersed in blood, the instantaneous viscoelasticity is determined noninvasively. This is the first report of such noninvasive determination. In in vivo experiments applied to five healthy subjects, propagation of the pulsive wave was clearly visible in all subjects. For the 60-Hz component, the typical propagation speed rapidly decreased from 5m/s to 3m/s around the time of AVC. The typical value of elasticity was about 24-30kPa and did not change around the time of AVC. The typical transient values of viscosity decreased rapidly from 400Pa・s at t=T_0-8ms to 70Pa・s at t=T_0+10ms. These values are comparable to those obtained using audio frequency in in vitro experiments reported in the literature.

    Though the viscoelasticity of the myocardium is essential in the evaluation of heart diastolic function, it has not yet noninvasively measured in in vivo. Based on our new finding in this paper that some pulsive wave (audible vibration) is spontaneously excited due to the aortic-valve closure (AVC) at the end-systole (T_0) and it propagates along the interventricular septum (IVS), we developed a new method to measure the viscoelasticity of the myocardium. Based on our novel method, the vibrations are measured almost simultaneously at about 160 points set from the base to the apex along the IVS. Though the delay time of the pulsive wave from the root of the aortic-valve to the apex is very small of several milliseconds, which cannot be measured by conventional equipments, the phase value, which is obtained by the Fourier transform, of the measured pulsive wave clearly reveals its propagation along the IVS. Its phase velocity is determined from the spatial distribution of the phase for each frequency component. By comparing the dispersion curve of the phase velocity with the theoretical one of the Lamb wave which propagates along the viscoelastic plate immersed in the blood, the instantaneous viscoelasticity of the IVS is noninvasively determined for the first time. In in vivo experiments, for 60 Hz component, the propagation speed rapidly decreased from 5 m/s at t=T_0-12 ms to 3 m/s at t=T_0+6 ms. The typical value of elasticity is about 24-30 kPa and it does not change around the AVC timing. However, the viscosity decreased rapidly from about 400 Pa・s at t=T_0-12 ms to 70 Pa・s at t=T_0+6 ms. These phenomena will correspond to the rapid decrease in the inner pressure around the beginning of the isovolumic relaxation (IR) period. This method offers potential for in vivo imaging of the tissue characterization and diastolic function, which cannot be obtained by conventional echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), computer tomography (CT), or magnetic resonant imaging (MRI).

    For diagnosis of atherosclerosis, we have developed a new method, namely phased tracking method, to measure the regional elastic modulus of the arterial wall using transcutaneous ultrasound. The elasticity image of the femoral artery of a patient affected by arteriosclerosis obliterans was transcutaneously measured by this method. The layered structure was found in the measured elasticity image. After ultrasonic measurement, the artery was extracted by the surgery of bypass grafting. The pathological image of the measured section was made from the extracted artery with elastica-Masson staining, and was compared with the measured elasticity image. It was found that the layered structure in the elasticity image well corresponded to the layered tissue structure of the wall. Furthermore, elasticity images were measured at carotid arteries of a healthy subject and a patient with hyperlipidemia. The elasticity image of the patient showed complex structure in comparison with that of the healthy subject. Elasticity images measured by our method have potential for detail analysis of the change in tissue structure due to early-stage atherosclerosis.

    It has been found that myocardial motion exhibits frequency components of up to 100 Hz for the first time by developing a phased tracking method. Especially at end-systole just before the timing of the aortic valve closure, a pulsive wave was detected with high reproducibility in the large movement of the interventricular septum (IVS). By modifying a conventional ultrasonic diagnosis equipment to allow about 10 scan lines from a sector scanner to arbitrarily selected in real time, the myocardial pulsive waves were detected simultaneously at 150 points set from the base to the apex along the IVS. It propagated from the root of the aortic valve to the apex side along the IVS, where the vibration direction was perpendicular to the IVS. In this paper, by determining the wavelength of the pulsatile wave, the frequency dependence of the phase velocity of the pulsatile wave is shown in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 90 Hz. From in vivo experimental results, it is shown that the vibration mode corresponds to the SV-wave. This method offers potential for imaging based on the tissue characteristics in wide frequency range, which cannot be recognized by conventional echocardiography.

    We have developed the phased tracking method [IEEE Trans. UFFC, 44, 1996] for measuring the minute change in thickness during one heartbeat and elasticity of the arterial wall with transcutaneous ultrasound. When this method is applied to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the artery (short-axis plane) using a linear-type probe, only the ultrasonic beam which passes through the center of the artery, coincides with the direction of the change in thickness. At other beam positions, the wall motion cannot be accurately tracked because the direction of wall expansion slips off the beam. To obtain the cross-sectional image of elasticity in the short-axis plane using transcutaneous ultrasound (10 MHz), in this paper, the directions of ultrasonic beams are designed so that each beam always passes through the center of the artery and then it always coincides with the direction of the wall expansion. In basic experiments, the accuracy in elasticity measurement was evaluated using a silicone rubber tube. At a human carotid artery, the minute change in thickness of the wall was measured along each ultrasonic beam and the cross-sectional image of elasticity was obtained in the short-axis plane.

    To characterize tissues in arterial wall, we have developed a method, namely, the phased tracking method, for measuring the strain (change in wall thickness due to the heartbeat) and elasticity of the arterial wall with transcutaneous ultrasound. However, some types of tissue, such as lipids and blood clots, cannot be discriminated from each other based only on elasticity because of the small difference in their elasticity. For more precise tissue characterization, we are attempting to measure the regional viscoelasticity. To obtain the viscoelastic property, in this paper, elastic moduli at multiple frequencies were obtained by generating the change in internal pressure due to remote cyclic actuation. From basic experiments using a silicone rubber tube, it was found that the elastic modulus of the tube measured by ultrasound increased with actuation frequency and elastic moduli measured by ultrasound agreed well with that measured by a laser line gauge. Furthermore, increases in the elastic modulus are also found in in vitro experiments using an extracted iliac artery and in in vivo experiments at a carotid artery. The proposed method has potential for assessment of viscoelastic properties of the arterial wall by measuring the frequency characteristic of elastic modulus.

    It has been found that myocardial motion exhibits frequency components of up to 100 Hertz for the first time by developing a phased tracking method. Especially at end-systole just before the timing of the aortic valve closure, a pulsive wave was detected with high reproducibility in the large movement of the interventricular septum (IVS). By modifying a conventional ultrasonic diagnosis equipment to allow 10 scan lines from a sector scanner to arbitrarily selected in real time, the myocardial pulsive waves were detected simultaneously at 150 points set from the base to the apex along the IVS. It propagated from the root of the aortic valve at the left-ventricular side to the right-ventricular side across the IVS and to the apex along the IVS, where the vibration direction was perpendicular to the IVS. In this paper, from the apical view, it is experimentally confirmed that the pulsive wave has also the vibration components parallel to the IVS. This method offers potential for imaging based on the tissue characteristics in wide frequency range, which cannot be recognized by conventional echocardiography.

    We have developed the phased tracking method [IEEE Trans. UFFC, 44, 1996] for measuring the minute change in thickness during one heartbeat and elasticity of the arterial wall by transcutaneous ultrasound using a linear-type probe. When this method is applied to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the artery (short-axis plane), only the ultrasonic beam which passes through the center of the artery, coincides with the direction of the change in thickness. At other beam positions, the wall motion cannot be accurately tracked because the direction of wall expansion slips off the beam. To obtain the cross-sectional image of elasticity in the short-axis plane using transcutaneous ultrasound (10 MHz), in this paper, the directions of ultrasonic beams are designed so that each beam always passes through the center of the artery and then it always coincides with the direction of the wall expansion. At a human carotid artery, the minute change in thickness of the wall was measured at each ultrasonic beam position and the cross-sectional image of elasticity was obtained in the short-axis plane.

    In our series of studies on noninvasive assessment of the regional elasticity of the arterial wall, the displacement gradient (change in thickness) of the arterial wall caused by the heartbeat was measured by the phased tracking method [IEEE Trans. UFFC, 44, 1996]. Since the displacement gradient corresponds to the strain due to the change in blood pressure, the elasticity can be evaluated from the displacement gradient of the arterial wall and the blood pressure, which are noninvasively measured at the upper arm. In the measurement of the elasticity of the arterial wall by our method, the region where the elastic modulus is estimated must be assigned beforehand, and currently, the lumen-intima boundary of the arterial wall is manually determined by the operator. For the real-time measurement of the elasticity of the arterial wall, a fast, automated method is necessary for detection of the boundary. In this paper, a cost function is proposed for differentiation of the arterial wall from the lumen. The proposed cost function was applied to ultrasound data, which were noninvasively obtained for 5 human carotid arteries. In comparison with the case of detection using only the amplitude of the echo, the root mean square error between the automatically detected lumen-intima boundary and the manually assigned boundary was significantly improved by using the proposed cost function. Furthermore, the lumen-intima boundary was automatically detected in a short period (0.26 s, Pentium III 1.2 GHz).

Especially at end-systole just before the timing of the aortic valve closure, a pulsive wave was detected with high reproducibility in the large movement of the interventricular septum (IVS). By modifyinf a conventional ultrasonic diagnosis equipment to allow 10 scan lines. from a sector scanner to arbitrarily selected in real time, the myocardial velocity signals were measured almost simultaneously at about 15 points from right,-ventricular side to left-ventricular side along each scan line. Thus, the pulsive waves are detected simultaneously at 150 points set from the base to the apex along the IVS. For each of three healthy subjects, the pusive waves were clearly obtained just before the aortic value closure timing. It propagates from the root of the aortie valve at the left-ventriculars ide to the right-ventricular side across the IVS and to the apex along the IVS. After applying the Fourier transform to the pulsive wave, the delay tirne was determined from the phase value at 50Hz. Thus, the propagation spend was about 3-4m/s for these three subjects.This method offers potential for imaging based on the .tissue characteristies in wide frequency range, which cannot be recognized by conventional echocardiography.

    Based on the phased tracking method, it is newly found that there are high frequency components from d.c. to several hundred Hz in the vibrations on the arterial wall noninvasively measured in in vivo experiments. These vibrations are mainly caused by the blood flow, and the wall vibration propagates from the intima to the adventitia. Moreover, the propagation characteristics of the vibration will highly depend on the viscoelasticity in the arterial wall. In this report, the shear viscoelasticity is estimated from the propagation characteristics of the shear wave in the regional area of the arterial wall in the frequency domain. The proposed method was applied to human common carotid arteries.

    Circulatory diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction are often caused by the rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque. For diagnosis of the vulnerability of the atherosclerotic plaque, it is important to characterize tissue components, which compose the atherosclerotic plaque, because the vulnerability of the atherosclerotic plaque relates to the amount of lipid and thickness of the fibrous cap. For characterization of tissue components in the atherosclerotic plaque, we have developed a new method, namely phased tracking method, to measure the regional elastic modulus of the atherosclerotic plaque using the transcutaneous ultrasound. For diagnosis of the vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques, the knowledge of the elastic moduli of the fibrous tissue and lipid provides useful clinical information because thickness of the fibrous cap and the amount of lipid are supposed from the in vivo measurement of the elasticity distribution. In this paper, elastic moduli of the fibrous tissue and lipid are investigated from in vitro experiments using the phased tracking method.

    Myocardial motion exhibits frequency components of up to 100 Hertz as found by a phased tracking method. To simultaneously measure the rapid and minute velocity signals at multiple points along the surface of the left ventricle (LV), in this study, conventional ultrasonic diagnosis equipment was modified to allow 10 scan lines from a sector scanner to be arbitrarily selected in real time for analysis. By applying the measurement method to two patients with aortic stenosis (AS), irregular vibration signals, which correspond to the murmur of the heart sound, could be directly detected during ejection period. In conventional tissue Dappler imaging (TDI), only the large slow movements due to the heartbeat are displayed, while these rapid and minute velocity components cannot be displayed. This measurement and method of analysis offer potential for new diagnostic techniques in cardiac dysfunction.

    It is known that the ultrasound integrated backscatter(IB)from heart wall shows the cyclic variation during a cardiac cycle. In this study, by measuring the IB from the heart walls of two human healthy subjects and a rabbit at a high pulse repeatation frequency, the rapid variation in the IB signal was detected. In the phase that the speed of change in thickness was large, the period of rapid variation was short. We assume that the period of the rapid variation in the IB signal has a close relationship with the regional change in thickness of heart wall.

    The pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the propagation speed of the pulsation along the artery due to the heartbeat;its measurement is being reported to estimate the elasticity of the arterial wall for noninvasive diagnosis of arteriosclerosis. It is important for advanced diagnosis, to determine the PWV for each frequency and for each instance in time during the cardiac cycle. Using a phased tracking method developed, the movement of the arterial wall is accurately tracked and small velocity signals at multiple points in the human carotid artery along a linear-type probe are all simultaneously measured with submicrometer accuracy. By applying a spatial autoregressive (AR) modeling to the measured signals after using the Hilbert transform, the regional PWV of each frequency component was determined at the beginning of the ejection period, T_E, and at the beginning of the ventricular diastole, T_D. The novel detection of the PWV offers potential for quantitative diagnosis of atherosclerosis.

    There have been several studies on imaging of distribution of the elasticity of arterial wall using Intravascular Ultrasonography(IVUS). In these studies, the elasticity is estimated only in the ventricular diastole. However, the active motion of the smooth muscle of the media is induced in the diastole. Thus, the strain measured in the diastole includes both the passive characteristics and the active characteristics of smooth muscle. In the ejection period, however, the IVUS probe has large motion due to pulsatile flow. We proposed a method determining the regional change in thickness on compensating the probe position. Using a silicone rubber tube, which is driven by pulsatile flow generated by an artificial heart, the 2-D distribution of the regional change in thickness and elasticity is determined by the proposed method. The incremental elastic modulus is homogeneously obtained in the cross-sectional plane of the wall and its value coincides with that determined in the static pressure-strain test. Using the method the change in thickness of the tube can be accurately measured, and cross-sectional elastic image is displayed.

    For noninvasive diagnosis of atherosclerosis, we have been attempting to evaluate the elasticity of the arterial wall by measurement of its small change in thickness caused by heartbeat. The elasticity of the arterial wall has been noninvasively evaluated by measurement of the change in diameter of the artery or the pulse wave velocity, however, there is no method for noninvasive evaluation of the elasticity of the arterial wall from its change in thickness. By employing the phased tracking method, which has been proposed by our group, the small change in thickness (less than 100 μm)is measured in each regional area, which corresponds to diameter of the ultrasonic beam. From the change in thickness, the elasticity of the arterial wall can be evaluated with better spatial resolution in comparison with measurement of the change in diameter of the artery and the pulse wave velocity. In this report, we propose a method for evaluation of the elastic modulus of the arterial wall with non-uniformwall thickness by measurement of its change in thickness. The proposed method is applied to in vivo experiments of human carotid arteries.

    We previously developed a new method, the phased tracking method, for accurately tracking the movement of the heart wall and arterial wall based on both the phase and magnitude of the demodulated signals to determine the instantaneous position of an object.With this method, the local change in wall thickness during one heartbeat can be determined.We have now developed a real-time system for continuously measuring the change in thickness of the myocardium and arterial wall.In this system, four high-speed digital signal processing chips are employed for realizing the initially developed method in real time.The tracking results for both sides of the wall are superimposed on the M(motion)-mode image.The change in thickness of the arterial wall as small as several micrometers can be successfully detected in real time with good reproducibility.The elasticity of the arterial wall is derived from the blood pressure.In in vivo experiments, the rapid response of the change in wall thickness of the carotid artery to the administration of nitroglycerine (NTG) is evaluated for a young healthy subject and a young smoker.When the change in thickness is plotted against the simultaneously measured pressure, such curves also change due to the administration of NTG.This new real-time system offers potential for quantitative diagnosis of early-stage atherosclerosis by evaluation of the rapid response of the cardiovascular system to NTG.

    We have investigated the in fluence of blood flow on the atherosclerotic plaque accurately and transcutaneously measuring small vibrations caused by the pulsatile flow on the arterial wall at the arteriostenosis lesions. It was reported that cerebral ischemia paroxysm and cerebral infarctions are occurred with high percentages when the inner diameter decreases less than 70% due to the stenosis. It has been considerd that the reason of these crises is due to rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. In this paper, small vibration signals on the carotid arterial wall are measured and analyzed for patients with atherosclerosis and healthy subjects. On the other hand, using a silicone tube with small pressure sensors, the relationship between the vibration signals and inner pressure signals is evaluated for the cases with and without an artificial stenosis.

    We have proposed the method for accurate measurement of the small change in thickness of the arterial wall during the cardiac cycle. By using this method, the local elasticity of the arterial wall is noninvasively evaluated. From the basic experiment, the accuracy of this method in measuring the displacement has been found to be less than 1 μm. However, under in vivo conditions, the change in thickness of the arterial wall cannot be successfully measured from only two successively received signals (frames) because of the decrease in the S/N of the ultrasonic pulse. In this report, we propose a method for improvement of the S/N by using multiple frames in the estimation of the phase shift of the ultrasonic pulse.

    For diagnosis of early stage atherosclerosis, it is necessary to increase the spatial resolution in local evaluation of the acoustic characteristics of the arterial wall to the several millimeter, which corresponds to macular lesion on the surface of the wall. In literature, ultrasound- based-methods have been proposed, in which the local pulse wave velocity (PWV) is measured. Since there is relationship between the PWV and the Young's modulus in the circumferencial direction of the arterial wall, the elastic characteristics of the arterial wall is noninvasively evaluated in each local area. In this paper, small vibration on the anterior and posterior walls of the artery are simultaneously and accurately measured from the skin surface using pulsive ultrasound wave. Instantaneous phase is calculated by analytic signal obtained by the small vibrations. The local pulse wave velocity at each frequency is obtained by phase difference between two sites. The proposed method is applied to in vivo evaluation of the viscoelasticity of the abdominal aorta.

    We have proposed the method for diagnosis of atherosclerosis by evaluating the elasticity of the arterial wall. In the early stage of atherosclerosis, if the change in elasticity of the arterial wall precedes in comparison with its thickening, the proposed method has possibility to diagnose atherosclerosis in earlier stage. In this report, we measure the elasticity and thickness of the arterial walls with respect to 30 human carotid arteries(age: 32-63). From the fact that atherosclerosis develops with age, the change in wall thickness and elasticity caused by atherosclerosis can be investigated by measuring the wall thickness and elasticity of the arterial walls of various ages. Then, we statistically analyzed whether the change in elasticity of the arterial wall precedes in comparison with its thickening. As a result, the elasticity of the arterial wall changes without no remarkable wall thickening. From this result, the proposed method has possibility to diagnose atherosclerosis in earlier stage in comparison with measurement of wall thickness.

    For diagnosis of early stage atherosclerosis, it is necessary to increase the spacial resolution in local evaluation of the acoustic characteristics of the arterial wall to several millimeter, which corresponds to macular lesion on the surface of the wall. To noninvasively evaluate elastic property of the arterial wall, the measurement of the pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been previously proposed. By the method, however, sufficient spacial resolution cannot be obtained. For this problem, we proposed a method to evaluate the local elastic property of the arterial wall. By this method, the small change in thickness of the arterial wall is noninvasively measured using ultrasound. The elastic modulus of the arterial wall is obtained by dividing the difference resultant between systole blood pressure and diastole blood pressure by the strain obtained from the resultant change in thickness of the arterial wall. In this paper, by applying the frequency analysis to the waveform of the change in thickness of the arterial wall obtained by the proposed method, the viscoelastic property of the arterial wall is evaluated.

    Left ventricular (LV) pressure, especially LV end-diastolic pressure, is a significant parameter for the clinical diagnosis of heart diseses. LV pressure is usually measured by the invasive catheterization which inserts catheter to the heart via brachial artery or aorta vessel, although it may cause complications. In this paper, therefore, we estimate the LV end-diastolic pressure, which is caluculated by the LV instantaneous eigenfrequency of a small vibration on the LV wall measured by ultrasound. At the same time, the elastic modulus of the heart wall is noninvasively obtained.

    We have proposed a new method for diagnosis of early stage of arteriosclerosis by measuring small vibrations on arterial wall. In order to estimate the elastic characteristics of artery via detecting small vibrations on the artery, it is important that we know which mode of propagation of the small vibrations. In addition, we should clarify frequency band to which each propagation mode belongs. For the component of the bending vibration of cylindrical shells, anterior and posterior walls simultaneously vibrate with keeping their cross sectional shape. By applying these physical meanings to spectrum analysis, a new function is introduced in this paper to quantitatively evaluate frequency band, in which bending mode of small vibrations propagate on the vessel wall.

    For the noninvasive diagnosis of heart disease based on the acoustic characteristics of the heart muscle, we have already developed a new method for accurately tracking the movement of the heart wall to determine the instantaneous position of an object so that velocity signals of the heart wall with small amplitudes less than 100 μm can be successfully detected with sufficient reproducibility in the frequency range up to several hundred Hertz. In this paper, the method is applied to multiple points which are set in the heart wall on a ultrasonic beam so that the spatial (depth) distributions of the velocity at these points are obtained. From the spatial distributions, the motion of the heart wall is divided into the following two components: parallel motion of the heart wall and the local change in thickness during myocardial contraction/relaxation. The latter component is superimposed on the M (motion)-mode image using a color code to map contraction to red and relaxation to blue. This new method offers potential for research on noninvasive acoustical diagnosis of myocardial local motility.

    For diagnosis of early stage atherosclerosis, it is necessary to increase the spacial resolution in local evaluation of the acoustic characteristics of the arterial wall to the several millimeter, which corresponds to macular lesion on the surface of the wall. In literature, ultrasound-based-methods have been proposed, in which the local pulse wave velocity (PWV) is measured. Since there is a relation between the PWV and the Young's modulus in the circumferencial direction of the arterial wall, the elastic characteristics of the arterial wall is noninvasively evaluated in each local area. For these previously proposed methods using ultrasound, however, sufficient spacial resolution cannot be obtained. In this paper, small vibration at the intima and the adventitia in the anterior and posterior walls of the artery are simultaneously and accurately measured from the skin surface using pulsive ultrasound wave. The thickness change in the arterial wall is obtained by integrating the difference between the two vibration signals at the intima and adventitia. The Young's modulus of arterial wall is obtained by dividing the inner pressure by the resultant thickness change in the arterial wall, which is normalized by the arterial wall thickness at the diastole. The proposed method is applied to in vivo evaluation of the Young's modulus of the abdominal aorta. Such local acoustic properties of the blood vessel will be useful, especially for noninvasive diagnosis of early stage atherosclerosis.

    In this paper we propose a new method for removing the characteristic of the piezoelectric transducer from the received signal in the pulse-echo method so that the time resolution in the determination of transit time of ultrasound in a thin layer is increased. The total characteristic of the pulse-echo system is described by cascade of distributed-constant systems for the ultrasonic transducer, matching layer, and acoustic medium. The input impedance is estimated by the inverse matrix of the cascade system and the voltage signal at the electrical port. From the inverse Fourier transform of resultant input impedance, the transit time in a thin layer object is accurately determined with high time resolution. The principle of the method is confirmed by simulation experiments and experiments using a water tank.

    We have proposed a non-invasive method for diagnosis of early stage of arteriosclerosis, by detecting small vibrations at two adjacent points on the aortic wall using ultrasound. However, there will be several vibration components each of which has different propagation velocity including propagation direction and it is difficult to distinguish each component by analyzing the vibration signals measured at two points on the aortic wall. In this paper we propose a new method for simultaneously measuring small vibrations at many points on a vessel wall by controlling the directions of ultrasonic beam in the ultrasonic diagnosis system. By analyzing these small vibration signals, each propagation component is distinguished from the others and more information may be obtained. After describing the principle of the method, the principle is confirmed by the experiments in a water tank.

    For the early stage of diagnosis of heart diseases, electrocardiogram and heart sounds have been extensively investigated in literature. We have developed a non-invasive method for measureing small vibration signals on the heart walls and arterial walls for acoustic diagnosis of heart deseases and arteriosclerosis based on their elastic degeneration. Since the resultant small vibration signals are nonstationary during one beat period, we introduced the wavelet transform, which has reacently used well in the non-stationary signal analysis, into the small vibration signals on the heart walls. By determining the instantaneous eigenfrequency of the heart from the time-frequency distribution obtained by the wavelet transform, this report presents a non-invasive method for mesurement of the time-varying heart inner pressure.

    This paper describes the design and evaluation of the optimum FIR filter for high accurate weight measurement. From the results obtained by the standard FIR filter designed in the frequency region, it is found that the FIR filter needs 150 taps, and it isn't suitable for real-time processing. Alternatively, we designed a FIR filter that minimizes the variance of the filter output in the timing of the weight measurement. From the evaluation experiments using various load cell output, the effectiveness of the proposed method is comfirmed.

    We have developed a method to measure local pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the aorta using an ultrasonic probe for noninvasive diagnosis in the early stage of arteriosclerosis.The local PWV is obtained form the distance and the transit delay time between two small vibration signals on the aortic wall.The transit time is calculated from the gradient of the phase characteristic of the transfer function.As basic experiments in this paper,we measure the propagation velocity of the small vibration on a silicone tube which is vibrated with a rectangle pulse.In these experiments,the transfer characteristic of the small vibration is measured in the higher frequency range until several hundred hertz.Since the resultant propagation velocity of small vibrations describes the elasticity of vessel's wall very well,this method will be useful for local diagnosis of arteriosclerosis.

    Recently,the effectiveness of the piezoelectric extracorporeal shock wave lithotriptor(ESWL) for the theraphy of calculus has been generally known in the field of urology.Despite the extensive clinical applications,fundamental studies on the physical charateristics and the biological effect of irradiation by shock wave are insufficient.We investigate the radiated sound from the break of a phantom at a focal point of the piezoelectric ESWL in order to examine the physical charateristics in the breaking process in operation of the ESWL.From our experiments using a piezoelectric ESWL,it has been found that the power of the sound radiated from the object samples is decreased during the breaking process. In order to consider the reason of these phenomena,we made experimints to examine the change in the power of the radiated sound for the various positions of the metal objects in the focal area.We report the results of these experimints.

    In the standard pulse Doppler method,target velocity is obtained from the Doppler-shift only for the center frequency of the ultrasonic transducer.In this standard method,therefore,the limit of the measurable velocity is not neglected.In this paper,we propose a new method for measuring velocity component higher than the limit of the standard method by obtaining the Doppler-shift from the phase characteristics not for the center frequency but for the frequency band around the center frequency of the ultrasonic transducer.After describing the principle of the method, the principle is comfirmed by the simulation experiments and the experiments using a water tank.

    In order to diagnose ventricular dysfunction based on the acoustic characteristics of the heart muscle,it is necessary to noninvasively measure small vibration signals from various parts of the ventricular walls.We have already proposed a noninvasive method for measuring small vibrations of the ventricle wall using ultrasound.This paper presents the spectra of the small vibration signals on the heart wall measured by our ultrasound Doppler-based method.For normal persons and patients who have been medicated carcinostatically for a long time,clear differences are detected in the power spectra of the small vibration signals measured on the interventricular septum.These differences show the significant meanings of the accurate measurement and their analysis of small vibration signals on the heart wall.

    There are many studies to eliminate echo and to estimate direct sound.In the case of musical instruments,which are not able to output the same sound or an impulse every time.In addition,the size and the radiation characteristic of musical instrument are very different from one of a loudspeaker.Then it is impossible to get an impulse response of the hall using musical insturument.This paper presents a method to estimate direct sound from the reverberant signal observed by a microphone.In order to estimate direct sound,we estimate a model of musical tone in an anechonic room,then estimate the original signal from the observed signal based on the model.The result of simulation using an impulus response of a room shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    In order to diagnose ventricular dysfunction based on the acoustic characteristics of the heart muscle of the ventricle,it is necessary to detect vibration signals from various parts of the ventricular wall.This is,however,difficult using previously proposed ultrasonic diagnostic methods or systems.The reason is that the amplitude of the cardiac motion is large during one beat period which produces large fluctuations in the transit time required for ultrasonic waves to travel from the transducer to the heart and back.This paper proposes a new method for overcoming this problem and accurately measuring small vibrations of the ventricle wall using ultrasound.In this method,the demodulated ultrasound signal reflected at the heart wall is converted from analogue to digital(A, D)signal at a high sampling frequency;from the resultant digital signal,the velocity of the wall is accurately obtained over a wide dynamic range based on the Doppler effect.The proposed method is preliminarily applied to the detection of small vibrations on the aortic wall,the interventricular septum,and the wall of the coronary artery.The new method offers potential for research in acoustical diagnosis of heart and artery dysfunction.

    We have proposed a non-invasive method for diagnosis of arteriosclerosis.By detecting small vibration on the aortic wall near the heart by the ultrasound doppler method,and applying the spectrum analysis to the resultant vibration signals,the pulse wave velocity and the elasticity of the aortic wall can be diagnosed transcutaneously.This paper presents investigations of local propagation characteristics of pulse wave on the arterial wall due to heart beat.Pulse wave velocity is obtained by analyzing the small vibrations measured simultaneously at two points on a vessel wall.The acoustic properties of the arteriosclerotic lesion will change regionally.Thus,from in-vitro fundamental experiments,it is confirmed that these local acoustic properties (stiffness) of the wall is evaluated.Through the experiments with the extracted human thoracic aorta,it is found that the stiffness of the aorta is increased with aging

    We have developed a method to simultaneously detect small vibrations at two points on the aortic wall near the heart using two ultrasonic transducers.This paper proposes a new method which realizes this measurement method by one transducer.By controlling the ultrasonic beams and applying the proposed method to the output signal of the transducer,the small vibration signals at the two points on the aortic wall are accurately obtained in the frequency range more than several hundred hertz.From the transfer function between the two vibration signals,the transit delay time of the pulse wave between those points is calculated.From the resultant transit delay time and the distance between these points, the local pulse velocity on the aorta is accurately obtained.These local acoustic properties of the blood vessel will be very useful for noninvasive diagnosis of the early stage of arteriosclerosis.

    When the impulse response of a transfer system Is long,it is difficult for the standard cross spectrum method to obtain an accurate estimate of the transfer function by applying the fast Fourier transform(FFT)with a finite length window.The bias error in the estimate Is large especially around,the resonant frequency of the transfer system.In this paper,therefore,we propose an alternative new method to obtain an accurate estimate of the transfer function.The delayed block transfer function is introduced to detect the components which are correlated to the signal in the input window,but leak from the output window.Based on these transfer functions,the total characteristics of the transfer system is estimated accurately.In the latter half of the paper,we derive the theoretical expressions forthe bias errors in the transfer functions estimated by the proposed method and the standard method.By comparing thoroughly the resultant expressions, the superiority and the usefulness of the proposed method are theoretically confirmed.Finally,the simulation experiments show the advantages of the proposed method.

    We simultaneously detect small vibrations at the two points on the Aortic Wall near a heart using two Ultrasonic transducers.By applying the spectrum analysis to the resultant two vibration signals,the transfer function between the two vibrations is obtained.The gradient of the phase characteristic of the transfer function gives a transmit delay time of pulse wave due to propagation between two points.From the resultant transmit delay time and distance between two points,regional Pulse Wave Velocity(PWV)is obtained.At the same time,the reliability of these analysis is checked by using the coherence function.From the experimental results,propagation characteristics of the velocity of the pulse wave on the blood vessel is obtained.These regional acoustic properties of the blood vessel will be very useful for diagnosis of the Arteriosclerosis.

    The cause of acute coronary syndromes such as acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina has been revealed as the rupture of a vulnerable plaque in a coronary artery. The objective of the research project was to develop an intravascular acoustic microscope system applicable to clinical settings. The concrete purpose during the term of Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research was to establish an ultrasonic diagnostic system with 40 MHz frequency which can provide greater information compared with a conventional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) system. The radio-frequency (RF) signal from a conventional IVUS apparatus was digitized by a high speed A/D converter with a sampling frequency of 500 MSa/s. The ECG and intracoronary pressure were simultaneously digitized and stored in a workstation. Conventional IVUS images and Integrated Backscatter Imaging derived from automatic sensitivity time compensation. RF signals of the same portion in consecutive frames were analyzed and correlation and displacement were calculated. Tissue Velocity Imaging was defined as two-dimensional distribution of the displacement in 1/30 sec where the correlation was 0.7 or more. Tissue Strain Imaging was derived from the tissue velocity difference between two points considering intracoronary pressure change. Normal coronary artery, soft plaque and hard plaque were visualized by the system. The strain of the soft plaque was larger than that of normal coronary artery and the strain was greatly changed during one cardiac cycle. The clinical results suggest the efficiency of the system to assess the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes.

    In this project, we further improved the non-invasive high-resolution diagnostic method "Phased Tracking Method" for the clinical modality to measure regional, tenth micron-order pathological change of the arterioatherosclerosis, applying the method for the group medical examination. We also examined relationships between each areteriosclerotic risk factor or the multiple risk index proposed in Framingham report and the pathological lesion at carotid artery as well as the intra-atheromatous physical property of the carotid arterial plaque. Followings are results form this project ; 1. We become able to evaluate precisely the regional sclerotic change of the arterial wall thickness, the instantaneous change in the wall thickness during the cardiac cycle, proper regional elastic stiffness snot only across the entire wall thickness but also of each tenth-micron thickness layer across the wall. These measurements could be accomplished within 5 minutes and become real routine diagnostic method. 2. The earliest change of the arteriosclerosis was the change in the proper wall, not the thickening of the wall as believed in the previous report. 3. Using this method, we can evaluate the physical nature inside the atheromatous plaque. The basic physical feature of the plaque suggested that the stiffer cap covered superficially the much compliant material interior. 4. The physical nature of the atheromatous plaque changed within relatively short period of several weeks by the control of the risk index. The stability of the atheromatous plaque has been suggested to be the key factor of the acute coronary syndrome. The non-invasive Doppler technique developed here supplies the information of the visco-elastic value at each layer across the plaque and physical stability. The novel Doppler method would be useful for the health care education in the group clinical examination and clarify the changing aspect of the regional atheromatous lesion through the medical therapy.

    In this project, we developed non-invasive high-resolition diagnostic method for regional pathological change of the arterio-atherosclerosis, which based on the novel analytical principle of the micron-order minute motion velocity at the cardiovacular tissue. The method has been constructed for the clinical use of the group medical examination. That is, the evaluation completed <10min per person. Moreover, we constructed the on-line computer system for 16,000 workers of the Tohoku Electric Company. We examined the relation ship of the areteriosclerotc risk factors and the change in the pathological lesion at the carotid artery. Followings are the results of this examination ; 1.We can precisely evaluate the regional arteriosclerotic change of the arterial wall thickness, the instantaneous change in the wall thickness along the cardiac cycle, proper elastic stiffiness not only of entire wall but also of each tenth-micron thickness layr across the wall from luminal surface. These evaluation was impossible in routine, conventional diagnostic method. 2.The earliest change of the arteriosclerosis was the change in the proper wall, not the thickening of the wall inthe previous report. 3.Using this novel method, we can evaluate the physical nature inside the atheromatous plaque. That is the stiffness of the firous cap and/or the lipid pool included by the cap. The inner composition of the atheromatous plaque changed relatively short period of several weeks. The stabiblity of the ateromatous plaque was strongly suggested to be the key factor of the acuke coronary syndrome. The non-invasive doppler technoque developed here supplies the information on this stability of the plaque from the viscoeastic value at each layr across the plaque. The application of this novel doppler method for the group clinical examination would clarify the efficacy of the treatment of the medical therapy on the regional atheromatous lesion and how or when the theraspy should be started.

    In this research, we have developed a new system to accurately measure small vibration signal on the heart wall. By this method, small vibrations of the heart wall with small amplitudes less than 100 mum on the motion resulting from a heartbeat with large amplitude of 10mm can be successfully detected with suflicient reproducibility in the frequency range up to several hundred Hertz continuously for periods of about ten heartbeats. The resultant small vibration is analyzed not only in the time domain but also in the frequency domain. As confirmed by the experiments herein reported, the new method offers pontential for research in acoustical diagnosis of heart diseases. In this research, the method is applied to multiple points preset in the left ventricular (LV) wall along the ultrasonic beam so that the spetial (depth) distributions of the velocity at these points are simultaneously obtained. The motion of the heart wall is divided into the following two components : parallel global motion of the heart wall and the change in myocardial layr thickening at each depth across the LV wall during myocardial contraction/relaxation. The latter component is superimposed on the M (motion) -mode image using a color cude to map contraction as red and expansion as blue. By preliminary human studies, the principle of the method proposed in this paper is verified and the frequency band of the components generated by thickening and/or thinning in the myocardium is identified. This new approach offers potential for research on noninvasive acoustical diagnosis of myocardial local motility, that is, the myocardial layr function at each depth in the ventricular wall.

    In this research, we have developed a new method to measure local pulse wave velocity, which is an index of the hardness in the range of several millimeters on the aortic wall. In the standard method, the pulse wave velocity (PWV) is obtained from the difference in arrival time of pressure waves propagating from the carotid artery to the femoral artery. In this method, the measurable points are limited to those where the aorta exists near the skin surface and the distance between such points is considerable long, i. e., several hundred millimeters. It is important for early diagnosis, however, to measure the local hardness of the surface of the arterial wall. To increase the spatial resolution, it is necessary to measure vibrations due to pulse waves with frequency components up to about 50 Hz. Therefore, we have developed a new system to noninvasively measure small vibration signals on the heart wall or the aortic wall from the surface of the skin based on the ultrasonic Doppler effect. By this system, small vibrations with amplitudes of 10-100mum on the motion due to heart beat with the large amplitude of 10 mm are successfully detected in the frequency range up to 1 kHz continuously for more than ten beat periods from the chest. To improve the spatial resolution in the local velocity measurement of vibration propagating on the arterial wall, this research also developed a new method to actuate impulsive wave with higher frequency components until 1 kHz from the backbone and transcutaneously measure the transit delay time of the impulsive wave propagating two proximate points on the aortic wall. The method offers potential for research in acoustical diagnosis of arteriosclerosis.

    Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been clinically applied for the treatment of severe heart failure in recent years. As the period of using LVAD is expanded to nearly one year, the detection of material damage has been necessitated. In order to detect the material fatigue, low frequency ultrasonic properties of the material were assessed by the frequency domain analysis of the pulsed ultrasound, and the surface morphology of the material was visualized by the acoustic microscopy. A3.5 MHz linear transducer was placed above the sample in a water tank. The system was modified to access to the rf signals at the output of the time gain controlled (TCG) amplifier, before any significant nonlinear processing, such as compression or rectification, was performed. To observe the frequency dependent characteristics of the received pulse, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the data was computed. The significant differences of FFT waveforms were observed between new and fatigued materials. Ultrasonic method could detect the material fatigue, although the appearance and the thickness of the samples did not show significant change. A specially developed scanning acoustic microscope system, operating in the frequency range of 100-200MHz, was employed. In the amplitude image of new material, there were no significant cracks or abnormal structure on the surface. Although the surface seemed to be smooth in the amplitude image, the surface was found to be distorted in the phase image. Very small crack and abnormal powder structure was detected in the amplitude image. In the phase image, the distortion was more prominent than that of new material. Both in low and high frequencies, ultrasonic approaches to evaluate the material revealed the material damage. Although this study was performed in the static condition, ultrasonic method should be used in the beating condition in the next stage investigation.

    心筋梗塞や脳疾患の主因である動脈硬化は30代以前から進行し、発病前の早期段階での無症候性動脈硬化の診断技術が、早期治療に不可欠となる。特に早期診断のためには、腹部大動脈や頚動脈上の数mm以下の局部における弾性的特性に関する非侵襲的計測・評価が必要である。これまで本研究者らは、心臓壁も含め大動脈壁上の数十μmの振幅の微小振動を高精度に計測できる方法を提案し,脈波速度法の原理に超音波ドプラ計測法を導入し、動脈各部の局部的な硬化度を定量的い計測する方法を提案した.しかし、一般に心臓や動脈壁面上の2点間を伝搬する圧力波は20Hz以下の低周波成分しか含んでいないため、上記の手法では計測能力があっても、高周波数成分が得られず、動脈硬化症の早期段階に現れる脂肪班や線維班に相当する十数mm以下までの空間分解能の向上には限界があることが明らかになってきた.本研究では,パルス波形を生成して大型の加振器へ加え、脊推に高周波成分まで含むパルス状の加振を行なう.この外部加振により、胸部で脊推と接する胸部大動脈を介して、高い周波数成分の微小振動を対象となる動脈(腹部や頚動脈)壁や心臓壁上に伝搬させ、この振動波形を壁上の測定したい微小領域内の2点で超音波を用いて同時に計測した.本研究では、この加振による装置を実際に構成し、既に独自に開発してきた計測方法や多くの信号解析手法と組合せ、最適な加振方法,加振位置,加振周波数,計測位置などを基礎的に検討し,空間分解能の向上に関する評価を行なった上で,これまでに従来の脈波速度法の開発と臨床に携わってきた研究者らとの共同研究を進めることにより、この新しい加振方式動脈局部硬化度計測法の確立と実用化を進めた.本研究成果によって、動脈硬化による壁弾性率の局所的変化に関する直接的計測・評価が可能となり、動脈硬化症の早期/進展/縮退の各段階における力学的特性の局部的変化の診断が初めて可能となった.

This research also developed a new method for obtaining local PWV by simultaneously measuring small vibrations at two points on the surface of the tube wall and the aortic wall. By the developed method, high spatial resolution, which is necessary in the evaluation of local hardness, is attained. By comparing the static experiments and dynamic experiments using a silicon tube, it is confirmed that the local hardness (Young's modulus) of the vessel wall is also evaluated with high spatial resolution. By applying the developed system and the method to in vivo experiments, the PWV of the vibration wave transmitted between the two points on the aortic wall is obtained even for the aortic wall near the aortic valve. The distance between the two points is about several millimeters. The local elasticity (Young's modulus) is also evaluated for each measurement point. Thus, the developed system will be effective for local evaluation of the hardness on the aortic wall.

    1.尿管内手術用カテーテルの開発:屈曲した尿管へは、極細内視鏡を用いてもアプローチが難しい場合が多い。そこで、尿管結石部へのアプローチを容易とする目的で、9F(直径3mm)の多チャンネル型カテーテルを開発した。3チャンネルタイプと4チャンネルタイプとがある。3チャンネルタイプは、それぞれのチャンネルに、内視鏡用ファイバー、砕石用フィイバー、灌流液を通す構造とした。4チャンネルタイプは、さらに小さなバルーンを先端部に装着しており、カテーテルの尿管内でのスタビライザーの役目を果たしている。2.超音波砕石用プローブの細径化:超音波砕石用プローブは、これまでの直径1.5mmにたいし、直径0.9mmと、断面積でおよそ1/3の細径化を果たした。これにより超音波プローブを半硬性システムとして使用することが可能となり、超音波砕石の適応が拡大した。超音波振動の振幅は30〜90μmとした。正常粘膜への影響を少なくするため、超音波振動は、連続発振のみではなく、パルス波的発振(断続的矩形波)も可能となるようにした。3.FFTによる結石破砕状況のチェックシステムの開発:結石破砕時に、発生する音響を体外より捕え、これをFFT分析することにより、結石にレーザーが間違いなく照射されているか否かを知るためのシステムを開発した。将来は、破砕された結石の大きさまで判定できるシステムへと発展させたいと考えている。4.経尿管式超音波診断装置の開発:尿管結石周囲の浮腫の程度の診断と、術後の結石破砕片の大きとが自排可能か否かを判定する目的で、経尿管式超音波診断装置を開発した。プローブは外路わずか6F(直径2mm)でフレキシブルな構造とした。発振周波数は20MHzで、距離分解能、方位分解能は、それぞれ1mm,2mm程度である。

    平成4年度は,3年度に完成した外国人日本語学習者のための特殊拍習得支援システムについて,いくつかの学会・国際シンポジウムなどで発表を行うかたわら,日本語学習者に対する試用を行い,その使用状況や発音改善などにつきデータを収集した。また、学習者の使用前後の音声の日本人による聴取・評価実験も行い,以下の知見を得た。 1.コースウエアの評価 試用の過程で,音声波形の観察とマウス操作による細部の聴き比べが,自分の発音の自覚と改善へと繋がることが観察された。本システムは,特に時間的な要素に左右される特殊拍の発音訓練に有効であるが,細かく聞いてくので,音声波形情報からでは読み取れない単音の音価やアクセントの異同などについても,学習者が気付いて改善していく例がまま見受けられ,総合的な発音教育としても有効なシステムであると言える。 2.学習者の自己評価と日本人の評価 学習者の練習1回目の音声と,最後に一応の満足を得た音声,およびその中間に位置する音声をデータとして,日本語母語話者に対して聴取・評価実験と簡単なインタビューを行った。その結果,日本人の評価も学習者の自己評価と概ね一致することがわかったが,次の3点のような興味ある事柄も得られた。 (1)学習者の音声にいくつかの問題がある場合,そのうち一つが改善されても全体評価はあまり変わらない(つまり,上達したとは認定しない)。 (2)発音に慎重になるあまり,スピードが遅くなると日本人評価は低下する。 (3)日本人が発音評価で重視するポイントは,拍感覚の実現,アクセントの習得,個別の単音の習得で,その重要度ランクは人によって異なる。 (4)場面を考え感情をこめた発話を低く評価することがよくある。

    A system of the line-focus-beam (LFB) acoustic microscope applicable to quantitative characterization of electronic device materials has been developed. Some serious problems, such as mechanical precision and temperature, has been experimentally and theoretically discussed from the point of view of measurement accuracy. It has been shown that stabilization of the temperature of coupling liquid of water in the LFB system is most important for accurate measurements, which are carried out by determining propagation characteristics of leaky surface acoustic waves (LSAWs) on the water/sample boundary. The system has been installed in a temperature controlled room around 23<plus-minus>0.1^゚C. The relative accuracy of LSAW velocity measurements has been estimated to be better than <plus-minus>0.005% at a point and <plus-minus>0.02% over a scanning area of 3-inch diameter. The system has been applied to investigate the elastic properties of piezoelectric LiNbO_3 and LiTaO_3 crystals. Experimental relations between chemical composition ratios of Li/Nb and leaky surface acoustic wave (LSAW) velocities for 128^゚YX LiNbO_3 wafers have been determined. LSAW velocity measurements have been carried out for commercial wafers obtained from a series of crystal growths. Small changes of 0.092% have been detected due to the compositional variation. It has been estimated that the "effective" congruent composition in the production line is 48.440 Li_2O mol% with the density of 4647.4 kg/m^3. A serious problem regarding the elastic properties of X-112.2^゚Y LiTaO_3 during industrial preparation has been examined with the system. Various types of elastic inhomogeneities have been detected quantitatively as a significant variation of LSAW velocities. In some wafers, large changes, about 2.5%, in LSAW velocities have been observed, which have corresponded to a difference between the velocities for single- and multi-domains. One of the causes has been found to be in the poling process during wafer fabrication. One of the potential applications is thin-film characterization. A new method of determining the elastic constants, density, and thickness of thin-film materials has been developed using propagation characteristics of leaky Sezawa and pseudo-Sezawa waves in the neighborhood of the cut-off region, in addition to those of leaky Rayleigh waves. It has been demonstrated for a sample of gold film on fused quartz that the values of the stiffness constant, C_<44>, and density have been, respectively, about 11% and 5.5% less than those for polycrystalline bulk gold, and the thickness has been determined as 6370A.

    We have developed a method to estimate the shape of a structural object, such as a pile used for building, from acoustic signal using digital signal processing and intellectual processing. The head of an object, which was buried in the ground, was hit with a small hammer, and the reflection wave waas observed with a pick-up attached at the same head. By intellectual processing, the reflection wave could be synthesized using some parameters. The synthesized reflection wave and the observed reflection wave was compared with each other. By varying the parameters, the parameters ware searched, which offer the most similar reflection wave. Then, the shape of the object can be estimated from the parameters by the wave equation. We have carried out many computer simulations and experiments using concrete piles, and it is found that the shape of the pile can be estimated with an estimation error of +10%. Furthermore, the positions and the sizes of the defects of piles can be estimated with an estimation error of +5%.

    今年度は、基礎的な資料収集と拍感覚養成コ-スウエアのための基礎調査の2つの作業を行った。 基礎的な資料収集の1つは外国人と日本人の発話資料の収集で、これまでに外国人3名と日本人2名の発話を収録した。もう1つは、外国人日本語学習者にとって聞き取りにくい音声を特定するための、聴解教育用CAIを利用したデ-タ収集とその分析である。聞き取りに関しての調査は、どのような点に焦点を当てれば教育効果が上がるかについての予測を立てる上で有効である。ここでは、いわゆる特殊拍を含む音声と拗音を含むものについて重点的に観察しデ-タを集めている。現在のところ、長音拍に関しては摩擦音、破擦音および拗音と組み合わさった場合、より知覚されにくくなる傾向が観察されている。 拍感覚養成のためのコ-スウエアについては、モデルとして聞かせる音声の内容の検討作業とコ-スウエアのデザインに関わるハ-ド面・ソフト面の作業の両面から行っている。 コ-スウエアのデザイン面では、モデル音声と学習者の音声のずれを明示するための処理方法を中心に検討をすすめている。日本人と外国人の男女各1組が読んでいる9種類の音韻的・韻律的対立を持つ91の単語および文について、パワ-とピッチとフォルマントの分析を行い、これら3つの要素のうち、拍数の異同を示すために最も効果的なものについて検討した。 今後は、モデル音声を聞かせそれを模倣する形式でのデ-タを収集し、その分析結果をにらんで、コ-スウエアで使用するモデル音声の内容について決定する計画である。

    Vibration is induced when rings or balls in a ball bearing have a rough surface or flaws. For example, in the case of the ball bearings used to support the spindle of the rotating heard of a video tape recorder, such defects debase the quality of the played-back picture. Therefore, at the final step in the manufacturing process, defects in ball bearings have been detected and classified aurally by inspectors listing to the vibration signals picked up using the Anderon meter. However, it requires a great deal of time to train a good inspector. Additionally, the physical and mental condition of inspector affects the results of detection. In response, we have been proposed for the automatic detection and classification of the flaw on the race or balls in a ball bearing. Defects are detected and classified by checking the peaks observed at the expected intervals which are calculated from the position of the flaws, the shape of the bearing and the rotation speed of the inner ring. We proved by experiments that the defects can be classified with an accuracy rate of 97.9 percent. In order to detect the shape of the surface roughness or the number of flaws on the raceway or on the balls, the surface roughness has been measured by a stylus which directly traverses the surface of the ring or the ball. However, it is necessary in this case to take apart the ball bearing. That is, it is impossible to measure the surface roughness on the race or the ball in the assembled rolling ball bearing. Therefore, we have also developed a new diagnosis method to estimate accurately the surface roughness of the rotating ring and the balls by analyzing the short-length vibration signal excited by the surface defects. Our experimental results confirm that the roughness estimated by the proposed method agrees with that measured directly by using a stylus. Finally, based on the above-described research, we have developed an automatic inspection machine for diagnosis of defects on each part of a ball bearing. About 200 inspection machines are now introduced into factories. The human inspectors are released from the hard task with the tension for long time and the reliability of the products are increased.

    Computer aided instruction system presently developed by the investigators has 9 coursewares that can be divided into two categories : basic skill training course and task-oriented training course. Basic skill training course treats almost all the problems that the learners of Japanese language in various nationalities have. In this category, 7 coursewares are prepared to develop skills to recognize vowel length, individual sounds, 3 special sounds (double consonant, /N/ and contracted sound), voiced or voiceless, numbers of moras and phrase boundaries. Task-oriented training has two programs : Point Hunting and Word Construction. They are understood as application activities of Total Physical Response. Having emphasis on game-like aspects of them, these courses have succeeded to attract learners' interests even after many times of repetitive trials. The characteristics of this CAI system are 1) real time sound supply, 2) friendly designed user-interface, 3) fully equipped HELP functions, and 4) teacher support programs to check students' records and to edit or to change items to practice. Hardware consists from a personal computer Macintosh SE and a 100MB hard disk. MacRecorder has been used for sound A/D conversion. For the software development, HyperCard is mainly used. C language and SounEdit are also used to write programs to control students' floppy disks and to handle sound data. Some preliminary results have been obtained by the cooperation of the students at Tohoku University Intensive Japanese Language Course. Investigation will be continued and if necessary, the programs will be revised in 1990.

    It is widely recognized that linguistic information must be used in the stage of word recognition based on phoneme, syllable or character recognition. However,the following questions have not been well investigated:1)What kinds of errors in phoneme,syllable or character recognition cause errors in word recognition? 2)When using a word dictionary as linguistic information, what is the relationship between the relationship between the phoneme,syllable or character recognition score, the word recognition score, and the vocabulary size? 3)When using transition probability as linguistic information, what is the relationship between them? In order to answer these problems, ,.it is particularly important to investigate the properties of phoneme,syllable or character pairs in distinguishing words within a short distance, where the distance between a pair of words is based on the phoneme,syllable or character pair differences between the two words. In this research, we investigate the properties of phoneme, syllable or character pairs in distinguishing word pairs with short distance in the 5317 Japanese popular words. Then we carry out performance evaluation in word recognition based on phoneme, syllable or character sequence with errors when using a word dictionary as linguist information. Next, we propose high speed algorithm for computing number of word pairs with short distance when using transition probability as linguistic information. In a similar fashion, we carry out the performance evaluation when using the transition probability.

    鍼の刺入によるツボ(以下、経穴:ケイケツという)の刺激過程に再現性を与え,経穴刺激による効果の科学的解明を容易にするため,超音波加振による経穴刺激に関する開発を行う.経穴の直上の皮膚表面付近に超音波トランスジューサを当て,その超音波トランスジューサに,特殊な電気信号(僅かに周波数の異なる2つの正弦波を加算した信号)を入力することにより,皮膚より深い部分の,超音波トランスジューサの焦点に相当する個所に,超音波の音圧に基づく加振を行うことができる.その周波数は,上記の2つの正弦波の差の周波数となる.さらに,こうした超音波加振を,同じ個所に,他の方向からも同時に加えることによって,経穴部の皮膚より深い部分を,ある周波数でちょうど「摘む」ことが可能となる(特願第2004-214531号).これらの原理が実現できることを,実際に加振装置を組み,実験によって明らかにする.生体の特定の部位に対して非侵襲的、かつ再現性の高い刺激を与えることが可能となる。これによりいわゆる「ツボ」の生理学的特性、および治療ポイントとしての特異性を評価することが可能となるばかりでなく、鍼灸、整体、マッサージなど多様な手技療法に対しても理論的な根拠を提供することができる。 さらに加振の高効率化を図り,また,皮膚より深部の変位・歪の空間分布を高精度に計測するために,本研究者らが開発した超音波計測法(H. Kanai他: IEEE Trans. UFFC., Vol. 44, pp. 752–768, 1997.特許第3652791号)を利用し改良を図る.これらの研究を通じて,経穴の超音波加振とそれによって発生した変位の空間分布の画像化を実現する.
