Circular-Arc Modal Migration (CAMM) for circular-arc ultrasound imaging preserves phase-screen peak positions and widths under scalar pullback in compact semicircular point-target tests.
- Why it matters: Circular-arc imaging needs a spectral method that handles radius-dependent propagation and the spatially varying offset-source transmit phase, while keeping computation efficient and accurate.
- What they did: CAMM starts from a first-Born acoustic model, uses angular decomposition plus local radial Stolt mappings to build modal fields, and applies offset transmit phase via phase-screen factorization or a scalar-pullback approximation.
- The result: Same-RF point-target comparisons show scalar pullback closely matches phase-screen principal peak positions and widths in compact semicircular configurations, while phase screens better control surrounding responses in shallow convex examples.
