An automated system for ultrasound scanner evaluation using PSF analysis of received signal

The goal of our work is the development and practical evaluation of an objective measuring method for ultrasonograph imaging quality assessment. This complicated problemmatique was resolved using Point Spread Function (PSF) analysis of the received signal from which a numerical value is derived. This expresses a parameter of the Lateral Resolution (LR), judged to be of paramount importance for image quality description. We devised our own original construction of the measuring system to evaluate the method and measurement procedure.
