PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compensate or reduce acoustic noise which may degrade the contrast resolution of images and may lead to smears or smearing within the generated images in an ultrasound imaging system.SOLUTION: The present disclosure relates to the measurement of acoustic noise during ultrasound imaging. In one embodiment, a receive beam is directed in a different direction from a transmit beam when an acoustic noise signal is being measured. When a tissue signal is being measured, the receive beam is directed in substantially the same direction as the transmit beam. |
