Abstract
Ultrasound Doppler twinkling artifact is analyzed. It usually appears as a frequent color alteration in the region of hyperechoic objects. Its noiselike spectrum can also be seen in spectral Doppler mode. Physicians use twinkling artifact as a clinical sign for kidney-stone and soft-tissue calculi detection. The advantageous peculiarity of this study is that the experiments were conducted utilizing raw signals obtained from a custom ultrasonic machine and a specially developed phantom. The phantom contained specimens with known qualities, allowing for reproducible and predictable results. The experiments revealed evidence for two physical causes of twinkling artifact, which were associated with two unique Doppler signals. The research laid the foundation for the new reflected-signal model introduced and used throughout this paper.
