Fast and Automatic Ultrasound Simulation from CT Images

Abstract: Ultrasound is currently widely used in clinical diagnosis because of its fast and safe imaging principles. As the anatomical structures present in an ultrasound image are not as clear as CT or MRI. Physicians usually need advance clinical knowledge and experience to distinguish diseased tissues. Fast simulation of ultrasound provides a cost-effective way for the training and correlation of ultrasound and the anatomic structures. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for fast simulation of ultrasound from a… Show more

“…Burger et al [7] developed a US simulation system by segmenting the CT dataset into different tissues, and then assigning velocity, impedance, scattering factor, and other acoustic properties to each tissue; hence, it was used to simulate the sound propagation, absorption, and scattering processes. Cong et al [8] proposed a multi-scale enhancement method to augment tubular structures to simulate blood flow, and allow for US images more realistic. Piorkowski et al [3] in 2013 applied the algorithms of Wein [9] and Kutter [10] to make a Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Simulator which has a tremendously positive effect on training doctors to perform TEE examinations.…”

“…SoS and attenuation of the tissues are directly related to the density as well. Therefore, the idea of simulating ultrasound images from CT images was investigated in prior studies (Dillenseger et al, 2009;Shams et al, 2008;Cong et al, 2013;Kutter et al, 2009;Sak et al, 2017) but in the context of developing fast ultrasound sim- ulations due to the high computational demands of standard acoustic simulation setups. However, since the k-wave toolbox supports GPU and CPU acceleration, it has a decent run time on modern Nvidia GPUs.…”

“…There is limited research on modality conversion of ultrasound imaging. In early studies, fast simulation of ultrasound imaging was conducted from CT imaging by estimating ultrasound imaging parameters such as attenuation, reflection, scattering, transmission, and noise through weighted integration of adjacent regions along the ultrasound propagation path in CT imaging [14][15][16], thereby generating virtual ultrasound imaging to assist radiologists in learning and interpreting ultrasound imaging more quickly. In addition, it was reported that cycleGAN method was used to synthesize B-mode ultrasound images of skeletal muscles, which visually resemble real imaging.…”
