Abstract:
This disclosure relates to ultrasound imaging with reduced speckle. Ultrasound imaging with frequency compounding and angle compounding is disclosed. Techniques are disclosed to make ultrasound imaging with frequency and angle compounding more robust. One such technique is non-rigid image registration to align ultrasound images for angle compounding. Another disclosed technique includes selecting a subset of ultrasound images for non-rigid ultrasound image registration.
