| Abstract | Previous research showed that 2D refraction and time of flight (TOF) corrections in full angle spatial compounding (FASC) can improve image quality significantly. In this paper we focus on three dimensional beamline corrections (i.e. TOF and refraction) in 3D FASC. A tissue mimicking phantom was imaged using a conventional ultrasound scanner and a custom made mechanical applicator. The phantom contains a reservoir, filled with an NaCl solution to realize an inhomogeneous distribution of speed of sound (SOS). Two wires are placed inside the reservoir to verify the system's ability to image 3D structures with sub-wavelength dimensions. Pulse-echo-data was recorded fully around the object and in multiple cross-sectional planes. Via a reflector the SOS distribution in the imaged volume was reconstructed with the algebraic reconstruction technique (ART). In a second compounding process ultrasound beamlines were corrected in 3D for refraction at the surface and TOF inside the phantom using the reconstructed SOS distribution. Finally, corrected volume data sets from all viewing angles were superimposed to form a new FASC volume data set, corrected for refraction and TOF. With this method, spatial courses of thin structures can be imaged in 3D, with suppression of double line artifacts and correction of geometrical distortions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
