Blocked Elements in 1-D and 2-D Arrays-Part I : Detection and Basic Compensation on Simulated and In Vivo Targets

During a transcostal ultrasound scan, ribs and other highly attenuating and/or reflective tissue structures can block parts of the array. Blocked elements tend to limit the acoustic window and impede visualization of structures of interest. Here, we demonstrate a method to detect blocked elements an...
