Abstract

A medical diagnostic ultrasonic imaging system analyzes receive signals generated by the system to adaptively set the interline delay and/or the transmit power to optimize frame rate while reducing or eliminating the wraparound artifact associated with transmit events that are too closely spaced in time for currently prevailing imaging conditions.
