More Information
Summary:The present invention is directed to a system and method for spatial compounding on an ultrasound platform to achieve optimized spatio-temporal sampling. This is accomplished by a system and method for mixing the order of steered and straight rays fired within a frame. In one embodiment this is accomplished by changing the firing sequence so that the target region is sampled in subsequent lines as opposed to subsequent frames. Using this approach it is possible to minimize the temporal image artifacts caused by the compounding process. This effectively changes the ray firing sequence to move the location of minimal temporal difference to the desired target point.
