Abstract
A method for imaging tissues behind obstacles includes following steps: (1) providing an ultrasound array transducer that includes at least four active elements; (2) spraying a data sample of an ultrasound beam along an impulse response curve into an output image domain; (3) binning each point on the impulse response curve by a value of an unique attribute; (4) summing an image value at the each point on the impulse response curve into a corresponding partial image volume associated with the unique attribute; (5) repeating steps (2)-(4) for all data samples of all ultrasound beams to obtain a plurality of partial image volumes; (6) sorting the partial image volumes by the unique attribute to generate common image point gathers; and (7) obtaining an image of the tissues by stacking common image point gathers at all output locations.
