Abstract
A method to increase the image formation speed in a digital ultrasound system including annular array of N elements with a plurality of transmit and receive channels. Selectively dropping one or more transmit or receive channels during image formation reduces the amount of data needed to form an image and thus increases the image formation frame rate. The improved frame rate does result in some reduction in resolution, SNR and potentially DOF, but image quality remains at an acceptable level.
