scanConversion

Convert scan-lines in polar coordinates to a B-mode ultrasound image

Syntax

b_mode = scanConversion(scan_lines, steering_angles, image_size, c0, dt)
b_mode = scanConversion(scan_lines, steering_angles, image_size, c0, dt, resolution)

Description

scanConversion computes the remapping between a series of scan lines in polar coordinates (i.e., taken at different steering angles) to a B-mode ultrasound image in Cartesian coordinates suitable for display. The remapping is performed using bilinear interpolation via interp2.

Inputs

`scan_lines`	matrix of scan lines indexed as (angle, time)
`steering_angles`	array of scanning angles [degrees]
`image_size`	[x, y] size of the desired output image [m]
`c0`	sound speed in the medium [m/s]
`dt`	time step used in the acquisition of the scan lines [s]
`resolution`	optional input to set the resolution of the output images in pixels (default = [256, 256])

Outputs
