Claim 18:
19. An ultrasound inspection system configured to detect a flaw in a test object and generate an image of the flaw, the system comprising:
an ultrasonic probe assembly having a linear transmit array and a linear receive array; and
a processor configured to:
define an aperture for emulation using a synthetic aperture focusing technique; and
for corresponding ones of a plurality of scan positions in the defined aperture:
acquire, using the ultrasonic probe assembly, full matrix capture (FMC) data of the test object;
determine partial total focusing method (TFM) data using the acquired acoustic imaging data; and
generate a TFM image using the partial TFM data from each scan position.
