Abstract
A method for generating a B-mode image of a sample, including: obtaining a plurality of M-mode frames from the sample using a probe; combining the plurality of M-mode frames into a montage, the montage comprising a plurality of A-lines corresponding to the respective plurality of M-mode frames; comparing adjacent A-lines of the montage to identify at least one pair of correlated A-lines; and removing one of the at least one pair of correlated A-lines from the montage to generate a B-mode image.
