Abstract

See full text

An ultrasonic imaging system and method acquire fundamental mode and harmonic mode ultrasonic image signals with a transducer from a subject under examination. These image signals are then combined to form a composite image. This composite image includes two lateral edgefield image regions modulated primarily as a function of the fundamental mode ultrasonic image signals, and a centerfield image region modulated primarily as a function of the harmonic mode image signals. In this way, improved image quality can be obtained throughout the imaged field of view.
