Signal Coherence and Image Amplitude With the Filtered Delay Multiply and Sum Beamformer

The filtered delay multiply and sum (F-DMAS) beamformer has recently been presented in the context of medical ultrasound image formation. This nonlinear beamformer produces images with improved contrast resolution and noise rejection when compared with the delay and sum (DAS) beamformer. In an attem...

520 |a The filtered delay multiply and sum (F-DMAS) beamformer has recently been presented in the context of medical ultrasound image formation. This nonlinear beamformer produces images with improved contrast resolution and noise rejection when compared with the delay and sum (DAS) beamformer. In an attempt to better understand the origin of the improved image quality, this paper shows a theoretical study of the image amplitude statistics backed up by numerical simulations. The results show that the difference in image amplitude using the DAS or F-DMAS beamformers can be partly explained by the way signal coherence influences both beamformers. When using the F-DMAS compared with the DAS beamformer, the image amplitude is shown to be more dependent on the signal coherence. Experimental ultrasound images of a phantom confirm our findings
