Abstract
Compounded Plane-Wave Imaging (CPWI) has the ability to provide ultrafast imaging for many applications like colour flow imaging, microbubble imaging and elastography. The compounding operation improves the imaging quality at the expense of reducing the frame rate. Due to the importance of frame rate in ultrafast imaging, selecting the number and value of the compounded angles is a critical step to achieve the best possible imaging quality using the minimum number of angles whilst preserving the frame rate. This paper produces a new method for selecting the angular range and the number of angles in CPWI depending on the characteristics of the transducer and medium using Field II program. Experiments were performed on a wire phantom to show the efficiency of the produced method. The results show a comparative imaging quality of CPWI at the selected parameters when compared with linear imaging.
