Project topics
 
The project topic should be selected from the following list. You need to have professor’s consent if you want to choose a different topic. Note that the project is designed to explore the similarities and differences among different imaging situations.
Correlation/covariance in ultrasonic imaging.
Sampling in ultrasonic imaging.
Ultrasonic imaging parameters.
Applications of ultrasonic imaging.
Ultrasonic imaging formats.
Speckle in medical ultrasound.
Ultrasonic flow estimation.

Report/Project format
 
Topics will be assigned to each team at the beginning of the semester and  each team will have two students. There are totally three reports. Each report includes an oral presentation and a written document. The first report is to describe the preliminary study of the project, including paper/book survey and the proposed approach. The second report is a progress report that should describe your progress and any modifications from your original proposal. The final report concludes the whole study. You must perform computer simulations and/or laboratory experiments to support your conclusions.
The oral presentation is 20 minutes long followed by a 5 minutes discussion (subject to change). The written report should be submitted to the professor and an abstract should be given to all students before the presentation.
Oral presentation will be graded by both the students and the professor. Written reports are graded by the professor only.
