Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an image with an extended focal range by transmitting a plurality of beams spaced along an array for multiline reception. The receive multilines of a plurality of transmit beams are spatially aligned and are combined with phase adjustment between the respective receive multilines to prevent undesired phase cancellation. The combined multilines produce the effect of an extended transmit focus so that an image produced using the combined multilines exhibits an extended focal range. To prevent motion artifacts the multiline order is adjustable as a function of image motion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system for imaging an image field comprising: a probe including an array of transducer elements; a transmit beamformer, coupled to the array of transducer elements, and operable to transmit a plurality of laterally spaced transmit beams, each encompassing a plurality of laterally spaced line positions; a multiline receive beamformer, coupled to the array of transducer elements, which is operable to produce a plurality of…
