Range resolution improvement by a fast deconvolution method.
Range resolution improvement in ultrasonic echography is considered as an estimation problem which is solved using a new fast minimum variance deconvolution algorithm specially designed for a microprocessor-based on-line processing. This method is used to accurately study the lenses and fundus of the eye and to follow variations of an arterial wall thickness during the cardiac cycle.
