Imaging of Human Heart Data

Abstract

This memorandum describes the processing and imaging of data collected during the first human tests of a volumetric array that uses passive sonar to locate arterial blockages in the coronary arteries. The data were imaged using conventional and reduced variance distortionless response focused beamformers. The images were studied to locate common features and to determine the most effective form of processing. Aliasing and noise in the data affected the images, and these effects were noted.
