Introduction
• Ultrasound Imaging
– Uses high frequency sound waves to image
density changes in soft tissue
• Ideal for imaging the surface of the tongue
• But cannot penetrate air or bone boundaries
– Can miss the tongue tip and/or root
– Palate trace difficult
– No pharyngeal wall recording
– Provides noisy medical-grade images
• Intended for diagnosis
• Often difficult to measure directly
3
Ultrasound - edges
• Ultrasound can miss
tongue tip/root
• Pick the right probe
and placement
– Narrow
– Curved-array
– Away from bone
• Forward of notch for
root
• Adjacent to notch
for tongue tip

Ultrasound – frame rate
• Ultrasound frame rate factor of:
– Ultrasound CPU
– Image smoothing
– Image lines
– Image angle
• Combined with video capture methods
– Trade portability, A/V sync, fps
5
Ultrasound – video capture
• Ultrasound speed
– Video capture
• SD 24/30 fps interlaced
• HD 48/60 fps interlaced
• A/V sync
– Cineloop full speed
• Short duration (8-16 second)
• External A/V sync only
– Frame grabber 60 fps
progressive
• Drops frames
• A/V not synced
– Semi-raw capture best
• No longer supported by
anyone
– B/M Progressive scan
• Full speed m-mode, 1D lines

Adobe Premier
– Don’t work with all frame
grabbers
– Interfere with frame rate/quality
• Oh g-d, the pain, the PAIN!
• FFMPEG
– 58-60 FPS
• With SSD, 64 bit computer, and
x264
– Requires UNIX command-line
skills
– Post-processing synchronization
based on transient bursts
(‘tatata’)

Ultrasound – head stabilization
• Hand-held
– Easy
– Useful in field/with
children
• Head rest
– Reduces motion to μ
1mm
– Moves with jaw
• Metal head mounting
– Effective
– Negates jaw motion
• Non-metal mounting
Stone (2005)
– Effective
– Moves with jaw

Ultrasound - Measurements
• Diagnostic
– Easier, less data storage
– Must be defined
carefully
• Direct measurement
– Slow, tedious
– More rich/useful

Discussion
• Ultrasound provides tongue shape and dynamic
information
– Can do so at high temporal and spatial resolution
• Head stabilization has tradeoffs
– Free jaw motion invalidates palate measurements
– Restrained jaw motion restricts speech unnaturally
• Ultrasound can be used for diagnostic or directmeasurement analysis
– Diagnostic is fast but uses little of the data
– Direct-measurement is slow but uses more data
