Abstract
A dynamic apodization gain correction technique for use with ultrasound imaging systems comprises an apodization curve generator and the ability to drive the curve generator to provide digital generation of the apodization gain correction curve. The ability to drive the curve generator comprises an initial plurality of active elements and data represented by a series of slopes and associated time-dependent break-points.
