The paper describes the use of synthetic aperture (SA) imaging in medical ultrasound. SA
imaging is a radical break with today's commercial systems, where the image is acquired …

Rapid developments in synthetic aperture (SA) systems, which generate a larger aperture
with greater angular resolution than is inherently possible from the physical dimensions of a …

Plane-Wave imaging enables very high frame rates, up to several thousand frames per
second. Unfortunately the lack of transmit focusing leads to reduced image quality, both in …

Multi-element synthetic aperture imaging methods suitable for applications with severe cost
and size limitations are explored. Array apertures are synthesized using an active multi …

Real-time ultrasonic imaging systems have been available for more than thirty years. During
this time much has occurred to the basic architecture and functions of these clinical systems …

The Synthetic Aperture Real-time Ultrasound System (SARUS) for acquiring and processing
synthetic aperture (SA) data for research purposes is described. The specifications and …

A new imaging technique has been proposed that combines conventional B-mode and
synthetic aperture imaging techniques to overcome the limited depth of field for a highly …

A new 2D (two-dimensional) and 3D (three-dimensional) pulse-echo imaging method
(Fourier method) has been developed with limited diffraction beams. In this method, a plane …

This paper gives a review of the current state-of-the-art in ultrasound parallel acquisition
systems for flow imaging using spherical and plane waves emissions. The imaging methods …

Ultrasonic imaging is a mature medical technology. It accounts for one in four imaging
studies and this proportion is increasing. Wave propagation, beam formation, the Doppler …
