Abstract
A method of operating an ultrasound imaging system having an array of transducer elements. The method comprises transmitting a plurality of ultrasound signals, each transmission using a different sub-aperture of the array, receiving a plurality of reflected ultrasound signals by a receive array corresponding to each sub-aperture transmission, calculating a coherency factor corresponding to the proportion of coherent energy in the received signals from each sub-aperture transmission and weighting the received output by the calculated coherency factor, and synthesizing all weighted outputs under all different sub-aperture transmissions.
