Abstract

An ultrasound imaging system includes a transducer array configured to transmit a plurality of ultrasound signals, each at a different angle of insonation, receive, for each of the plurality of ultrasound signal, an echo signal, and generate an electrical signal indicative of each of the echo signals. A beamformer is configured to beamform the electrical signals and produce a radio frequency (RF) signal for each of the different angles of insonation. An envelope detector is configured to detect an envelope of each of the RF signals for each of the different angles of insonation. A compressor is configured to compress each of the envelopes to produce frames of data for each of the different angles of insonation. A compounder is configured to adaptively compound the frames of data for each of the different angles of insonation to generate a compounded image. A display is configured to display the compounded image.
