Abstract
An ultrasound imaging method includes: transmitting ultrasound waves to a target tissue at at least two different transmission angles; obtaining an ultrasound echo signal corresponding to each transmission angle; for the ultrasound echo signal corresponding to each transmission angle, performing beamforming at at least two different receiving angles to obtain beamformed data; based on each transmission angle and the receiving angles corresponding to the beamformed data, performing at least one coherent compounding and at least one non-coherent compounding on the beamformed data to obtain compounded data, where each coherent compounding includes performing coherent compounding on beamformed data corresponding to a same receiving angle and different transmission angles to obtain a set of coherently compounded data corresponding to the same receiving angle, and each non-coherent compounding includes performing non-coherent compounding on at least two sets of coherently compounded data; and generating an ultrasound image based on the compounded data.
