Résumé
In recent years, methods estimating the spatial distribution of tissue speed of sound with pulse-echo ultrasound are gaining considerable traction. They can address limitations of B-mode imaging, for instance in diagnosing fatty liver diseases. Current state-of-the-art methods relate the tissue speed of sound to local echo shifts computed between images that are beamformed using restricted transmit and receive apertures. However, the aperture limitation affects the robustness of phase-shift estimations and, consequently, the accuracy of reconstructed speed-of-sound maps. Here, we propose a method based on the Radon transform of image patches able to estimate local phase shifts from full-aperture images. We validate our technique on simulated, phantom and in-vivo data acquired on a liver and compare it with a state-of-the-art method. We show that the proposed method enhances the stability to changes of beamforming speed of sound and to a reduction of the number of insonifications. In particular, the deployment of pulse-echo speed-of-sound estimation methods onto portable ultrasound devices can be eased by the reduction of the number of insonifications allowed by the proposed method.
