Abstract:
1. An image processing method, adapted to an ultrasound imaging system, and the image processing method comprising: (a) receiving a plurality of raw signals; (b) determining whether each of the raw signals satisfies any condition in a condition group, and mapping the raw signals satisfying said condition to one of a plurality of predetermined constants to generate a plurality of first data after a first iteration; (c) processing the raw signals not satisfying any condition in the condition group according to a calculation formula to generate a plurality of second data after the first iteration; (d) simultaneously performing a beamforming procedure on the first and second data to obtain a beamformed image; (e) transforming the beamformed image to obtain a processed image; further comprising: repeating the step (b) and the step (c) in allusion to the generated first and second data to obtain the first and the second data generated after multiple iterations.
