A United Sign Coherence Factor Beamformer for Coherent Plane-Wave Compounding with Improved Contrast

In this study, we present a united sign coherence factor beamformer for coherent plane-wave compounding (CPWC). CPWC is capable of reaching an image quality comparable to the conventional B-mode with a much higher frame rate. Conventional coherence factor (CF) based beamformers for CPWC are based on...
