摘要： An ultrasonic imaging method includes activating a transmit aperture within a multi-element transducer array, transmitting one or more ultrasonic beams along scan direction(s) that span the region of interest, for each transmit event, receiving ultrasound echoes from each element of a receive aperture, grouping the receive channel echo data into two or more sets corresponding to different receive sub-apertures, combining each sub-aperture data set to generate partially focused echo-location data for one or more reconstruction lines, and storing all the sub-aperture echo data sets during a storage period in a format that can be retrieved for later analysis. A method includes, during a post-storage period, retrieving stored sub-aperture data, combining the sub-aperture data to form one or more selected reconstruction lines, processing echo data to extract motion information from one or more sample positions along the selected reconstruction lines, and displaying an image representative of the processed motion information.

摘要： A system and method for ultrasound clutter filtering is provided. A processor is configured to iteratively select an optimal high pass filter for the progressive, ordered filtering of clutter from ultrasound color flow imaging data. The high pass filter input for each iterative selection and ordered set of high pass filters is the same original ultrasound color flow imaging data. The high pass filters have different cutoff frequencies whereby each high pass filter can be implemented using different structures. The system and method allow for filtering of clutter from ultrasound color flow imaging data until the clutter is substantially removed.

摘要： An adaptive clutter filtering for ultrasound color flow imaging is provided including an iterative algorithm that is used to select the best clutter filter for each packet of color flow data. If significant clutter motion is present, a high pass filter cutoff frequency is automatically set to suppress the clutter and associated flash artifacts. The cutoff frequency is chosen according to the frequency of the clutter—the lower the clutter frequency, the lower the cutoff frequency can be. If clutter frequencies are low, lower filter cutoffs allow for maximum low flow detection. In this manner, the filter cutoff frequency can be optimized based on the data for each pixel in the color flow image.

摘要： Methods for processing ultrasound signals are provided. Processing of ultrasound signals comprises identifying qualified reconstruction channels in a receive aperture, grouping qualified reconstruction channels in the aperture, and preprocessing of selected echo signals using the grouped qualified reconstruction channels to produce reconstruction signals. Additional methodologies comprise comparing a number of channels in a receive aperture with a number of reconstruction channels to determine a number of reconstruction signals and grouping qualified channels in the receive aperture such that the number of reconstruction data signals is not less than the number of reconstruction channels. An ultrasound reconstruction unit comprising a receive aperture control engine configured to use selected echo signals to adaptively determine a set of reconstruction signals is also provided.
