Research on Golay-coded excitation in real-time imaging of high frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy

Abstract High frequency ultrasonic imaging provides clinicians with high-resolution diagnostic images and more accurate measurement results. The technique is now widely used in ophthalmology, dermatology, and small animal imaging. However, since ultrasonic attenuation in tissue increases rapidly wit...
