Total Focusing Method (TFM) in HDPE
Comparison of TFM imaging with and without averaging (64) vs Golay Code Imaging in a High-Density Polyethylene sample (HDPE) at 5 MHz. Far fewer acquisitions are required when using Golay Code imaging than the conventional data averaging for comparable SNR
Thermal Strain Imaging (TSI) – FUS3D
3D real-time procedure using HIFU bursts at a PRF of 1Hz, 32W total acoustic burst power, with a 90% burst duty cycle in an ex vivo chicken breast tissue. Twelve different focal exposures were applied within a volume. The TSI images represent an increase in temperature (heating) during HIFU treatment at different locations.

Real-time Photoacoustic Imaging of the femoral artery
Real-time B-mode and Photoacoustic imaging of the common femoral artery of a healthy volunteer. This data was acquired using a Photosonus X100 laser source (Ekspla, Lithuania) operated at 870 nm with a repetition rate of 100 Hz, targeting the oxygenated hemoglobin within the artery.

HIFU treatment and monitoring
Focused Ultrasound application for HIFU treatment showing a set of 3 foci in 3D, as well as a B-mode image of the phantom overlaid with the Thermal Strain Imaging (TSI) feature. The red-shaded regions indicate relative heating, and the blue-shaded regions indicate relative cooling.
Shearwave Propagation and Imaging
Vantage NXT systems in the mid-frequency and high-frequency configurations can support the Extended Transmit option that provides long-duration pulses necessary for applications such as shear wave elastography and other radiation force-based techniques.
Maximum Particle Displacement
Comparison of the maximum particle displacement between Vantage and Vantage NXT at 40V for the L11-5gH transducer. The higher particle displacement in Vantage NXT is a result of the lower output impedance of the system and the improved power supply.
