Abstract

See full text

An ultrasonic imaging system and method provide a composite image having a near-field region and a far-field region that are displayed in a common imaging mode. The near-field region emphasizes received ultrasonic imaging at a harmonic of the fundamental of the transmit waveform, while the far-field region emphasizes received ultrasonic information at the fundamental frequency. In this way the advantages of harmonic imaging are obtained in the near-field without sacrificing penetration performance in the far-field.
