Abstract

The present disclosure directs to a system and method for ultrasound imaging. The method may include obtaining a total count of detecting members of a detector of an ultrasound scanner and a directivity angle of each detecting member of the detector. The method may also include obtaining one or more focuses each of which corresponds to a transmission of ultrasound waves of the ultrasound scanner, wherein the one or more focuses are located within the detector. The method may further include determining a synthetic aperture for each of one or more transmissions corresponding to the one or more focuses based on the total count of the detecting members of the detector, the directivity angle of each detecting member of the detector, and the one or more focuses, the synthetic aperture including at least one detecting member of the detector.
