Specular Beamforming

Acoustically hard objects, such as bones, needles, or catheters, are poorly visualized in conventional ultrasound images. These objects behave like acoustic mirrors and reflect sound in specific directions. Soft tissue and diffusive reflectors scatter sound in a broad range of directions. Convention...
