Abstract:In this paper, an ultrasound beamforming method for plane wave (PW) imaging based on modified sidelobe blanking (MSLB) is proposed to improve image resolution and contrast ratio (CR). In this framework, PWs from various angles were designed to create main and auxiliary beamformer signals. Specifically, the PW signals from all angles were first coherently combined to serve as the main beamformer output signals. To prevent excessive clutter and noise, output signals in the main beamformer were weighted by the ge… Show more
