Abstract
Dynamic steered spatial compounding is provided in ultrasound imaging. The compounding adjusts for variance. The compounding dynamically reacts to variance due to motion and/or view direction. For each location, the weights are set based on the motion or signal variance for the respective location. The weighting used for compounding or the results of the compounding adapt to maintain or increase signal fidelity.
