High frame rate ultrasound imaging using parallel beamforming

The human heart contracts and relaxes approximately once each second. This is a complex process where different parts of the cardiac tissue contract and relax at different times and at different rates. The accurate evaluation of this deformation with ultrasound requires the use of a high frame rate....
