SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING A SPECKLE REDUCTION FILTER

摘要

A computer-readable medium, a computer, and an ultrasonic imaging system are provided to generate image data streams based on filtered data subsets by using a speckle attenuation filter for simultaneously filtering the data subsets. An ultrasonic imaging system includes a transducer array(34), a beam generator(12), a processor(14), a scan converter and a display controller(16). The processor(14) processes a beam received from the beam generator(12). The scan converter and the display controller(16) are connected to the transducer array(34), the beam generator(12), and the processor(14). The scan converter and the display controller(16) receive processed data streams from the processor(14). The processed data streams are divided into data subsets. A speckle attenuation filter simultaneously filters the data subsets to generate filtered data subsets. Image data streams are generated based on the filtered data subsets.
