This invention provides a three-dimensional full-focusing
ultrasound imaging method based on a frequency-
wavenumber domain row-column addressable array, belonging to the field of three-dimensional full-focusing
ultrasound. The method includes the following steps: using a row-column addressable array with a total of N+N transmitting elements to perform ultrasonic scanning on a medium to obtain acquired signals; based on the acquired signals, performing spatial sampling to obtain a three-dimensional
voxel network; using a frequency-
wavenumber domain method to beamform the
radio frequency data corresponding to the three-dimensional
voxel network; and performing envelope
processing on the beamformed data to form a three-dimensional image. This invention's
beamforming method for three-dimensional full-focusing
ultrasound imaging based on a frequency-
wavenumber domain row-column addressable array significantly reduces the number of elements and
beamforming channels required for three-dimensional imaging by using a row-column addressable array, while providing a larger imaging area. The imaging process employs full-matrix capture to obtain high-resolution images, and the frequency-wavenumber domain
beamforming method significantly shortens the imaging time.
