  • Descrição: Conventional B-mode ultrasound imaging has difficulty in delineating homogeneous soft tissues with similar acoustic impedances, as the reflectivity depends on the acoustic impedance at the interface. As a quantitative imaging biomarker sensitive to alteration of biomechanical properties, speed-of-sound (SoS) holds promising potential for tissue and disease differentiation such as delineation of different breast tissue types with similar acoustic impedance. Compared to two-dimensional (2D) SoS images, three-dimensional (3D) volumetric SoS images achieved through a full-angle ultrasound scan can reveal more intricate morphological structures of tissues; however, they generally require a ring transducer. In this study, we introduce a 3D SoS reconstruction system that utilizes hand-held linear arrays instead. This system employs a passive reflector positioned opposite the linear arrays, serving as an echogenic reference for time-of-flight (ToF) measurements, and a high-definition camera to track the location corresponding to each group of transmit-receive data. To merge these two streams of ToF measurements and location tracking, a voxel-based reconstruction algorithm is implemented. Experimental results with gelatin phantom and ex vivo tissue have demonstrated the stability of our proposed method. Moreover, the results underscore the potential of this system as a complementary diagnostic modality, particularly in the context of diseases such as breast cancer.
