DELAY AND APODIZATION CONTROL INTERFACE FOR ULTRASOUND BEAMFORMER

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for compressing and decompressing data in an ultrasound beamformer. The systems and methods include an encoder for compressing delay data based at least in part on a smoothness of a delay profile, and for compressing apodization data based at least in part on a smoothness of an apodization profile.
