    Description:  Modulated (or coded) excitation signals can potentially improve the quality and increase the frame rate in medical ultrasound scanners. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate systematically the applicability of modulated signals in medical ultrasound imaging and to suggest appropriate methods for coded imaging, with the goal of making better anatomic and flow images and threedimensional images.

    On the first stage, it investigates techniques for doing high-resolution coded imaging with improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to conventional imaging. Subsequently it investigates how coded excitation can be used for increasing the frame rate.
    The work includes both simulated results using Field II, and experimental results based on measurements on phantoms as well as clinical images.
