<p>An improvement to the method for harmonic imaging including the steps of (a) transmitting ultrasonic energy at a fundamental frequency and (b) receiving reflected ultrasonic energy at a harmonic of the fundamental frequency is provided. The transmitting step includes the step of transmitting a waveform comprising at least a sequence of at least a first and second pulse characterized by first and second pulse durations, respectively, where the second pulse duration is different than the first duration. This arrangement can reduce harmonic energy in the waveform.</p> |
