Abstract
BACKGROUND: In ultrasound imaging using plane-wave (PW) techniques, image quality and contrast often suffer, especially when examining anechoic structures. Traditional beamforming methods like Delay-and-Sum or coherent PW compounding face limitations in balancing resolution and frame rate, which can result in suboptimal diagnostic accuracy.
