Abstract
The Resolution Enhancement Compression (REC) technique is a coded excitation method developed for improving the axial resolution of ultrasound images. It consists on emitting an amplitude modulated chirp signal that transmits more energy at the frequencies where the ultrasound transducer is less efficient. The focus of this study is to elaborate a new beamforming strategy, which consists of implementing the REC technique in combination with coherent plane wave compounding. The first objective is to get a better performance in term of axial resolution than Conventional Pulse Ultrafast Imaging (CP-UI). The second objective is to demonstrate that in ultrafast imaging, REC offers a larger bandwidth than the one provided by CP-UI.
