Ultrasound harmonic imaging using chirp coded excitation

Medical ultrasound imaging with the nonlinear second harmonic component (SHC) provides improved spatial resolution and reduced reverberation artifacts. However, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the SHC is low compared to the fundamental frequency component. In this study, chirp coded signals are e...
