2-D Minimum Variance Based Plane Wave Compounding with Generalized Coherence Factor in Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging

Plane wave compounding (PWC) is an effective modality for ultrafast ultrasound imaging. It can provide higher resolution and better noise reduction than plane wave imaging (PWI). In this paper, a novel beamformer integrating the two-dimensional (2-D) minimum variance (MV) with the generalized cohere...
