I'm a Ph.D student working on ultrasound (US) image enhancement, especially in obstetric US images. After studying on some US images of different body parts, I have some questions hoping someone will give me help.

1. You must have seen thousands of US images. Which degree do you think that US image quality is? 60 percent or more? Do you agree that US image quality should be promoted more? What shall we do to produce better US images?

2. There's always a type of noise called speckle blurring US images. In your experience, which kind of tissue details or which part of body will be stained most by the speckle noise in US images?

3. What will doctors concern most when they examine pregnant women with US systems? To the obstetric US images, what should be improved to give more information?

4. I'm developing an algorithm to produce high quality obstetric images. Thus I hope you can give me some information about: (1) The tissue traits in women's uteruses, such as tissue distributions, components,etc. (2) The differences between tissues in uterus and in other parts of the body. (3) Information in the US obstetric images that doctors hope to know but are blured frequently.

I will be greatly appriciated if some useful references in your mind can be introduced.

Thans a lot.
