Most ultrasound imaging techniques necessitate the fundamental step of converting
temporal signals received from transducer elements into a spatial echogenecity map. This …

Most ultrasound (US) imaging techniques use spatially-constant speed-of-sound (SoS)
values for beamforming. Having a discrepancy between the actual and used SoS value …

In ultrasound beamforming, focusing time delays are typically computed with a spatially
constant speed-of-sound (SoS) assumption. A mismatch between beamforming and true …

For beamforming ultrasound (US) signals, typically a spatially constant speed-of-sound
(SoS) is assumed to calculate delays. As SoS in tissue may vary relatively largely, this …

Aberrations of the acoustic wave front, caused by spatial variations of the speed-of-sound,
are a main limiting factor to the diagnostic power of medical ultrasound imaging. If not …

Speed of sound (SoS) is a novel imaging biomarker for assessing the biomechanical
characteristics of soft tissues. SoS imaging in the pulse-echo mode using conventional …

Numerous beamforming methods exist for ultrasound B-mode imaging, but it is known that
adaptive/non-linear beamformers may alter the image dynamic range. To obtain an 8-bit …

Computed ultrasound tomography in echo mode (CUTE) allows determining the spatial
distribution of speed-of-sound (SoS) inside tissue using handheld pulse-echo ultrasound …

Effective receive beamforming in medical ultrasound imaging is important for enhancing
spatial and contrast resolution. In current ultrasound receive beamforming, a constant sound …

Recently, significant improvement in image resolution has been demonstrated by applying
adaptive beamforming to medical ultrasound imaging. In this paper, we have used the …
