Beam combination method and system

摘要

Methods are described for parallel beamforming with beam combination of formed beams from different transmit beams in an ultrasound imaging system. The methods provide advantages because the combination of receive beams that are produced from different transmit beams enables the production of an ultrasonic image at faster frame rates that does not suffer from the image quality degradation normally associated with parallel beamforming, and does not require process intensive interpolation.
