Abstract
Disclosed is an imaging method for producing an image of a region inside a medium by an array of transducers, including the a transmission step of a plurality of waves inside the medium, a reception step for acquiring a set of data, a beamforming step providing a plurality beamformed pixel values depending on various transmit weighting vectors, and a combining step for combining the beamformed pixel values into a pixel value of each pixel in the image. The transmit weighting vectors are different and orthogonal one to another one.
