1. A method for generating an enhanced image of a volume of tissue, the method comprising:
With a transducer comprising an array of ultrasound transmitters and an array of ultrasound receivers and configured to surround the volume of tissue, emitting acoustic waveforms toward the volume of tissue with the array of ultrasound transmitters; detecting, with the array of ultrasound receivers, a set of acoustic signals derived from acoustic waveforms interacting with the volume of tissue; at a computing system in communication with the transducer, generating, from the set of acoustic signals, a reflection rendering of a region of the volume of tissue, the region including a set of elements; at the computing system, generating, from the set of acoustic signals, a sound speed map of the region of the volume of tissue; at the computing system, generating a transfer map upon renormalizing a set of sound speed parameter values of the sound speed map, the set of sound speed parameter values associated with the set of elements of the region of the volume of tissue; transforming the reflection rendering into an enhanced image upon performing element-wise division between elements of the reflection rendering and elements of the transfer map, across the set of elements of the region; and at a display in communication with the computing system, rendering the enhanced image of the volume of tissue. |
