This study aims to propose an enhanced linear-array PAM algorithm based on delay, multiply, sum, and integrate (DMSAI).In the proposed algorithm, before summation, the delayed signals are combinatorially coupled and multiplied, which means that the beamformed output of the proposed algorithm is ...
Reconstruction of photoacoustic (PA) images acquired with clinical ultrasound transducers is usually performed using the Delay and Sum (DAS) beamforming algorithm. Recently, a variant of DAS, referred to as Delay Multiply and Sum (DMAS) beamforming has been shown to provide increased contrast, sign...

In 2015, Giulia Matrone proposed a nonlinear beamforming algorithm, Delay Multiply and Sum Beamforming (DMAS), which is superior to the Capon algorithm and Delay and Sum Beamforming (DAS) algorithm in resolution and contrast. The complexity of the DMAS algorithm is O(n2). In this paper, a...

Double-Stage Delay Multiply and SumCoherence FactorThe Filtered Delay Multiply and Sum (F-DMAS) beamforming algorithm has recently been proposed to improve the resolution and contrast in ultrasound imaging. Based on F-DMAS, some researchers have introduced an alternative named Double-Stage...
As an alternative to delay-and-sum beamforming, a novel beamforming technique called filtered-delay multiply and sum (FDMAS) was introduced recently to improve ultrasound B-mode image quality. Although a considerable amount of work has been performed to evaluate FDMAS performance, no study has ...
The BB-DMAS beamforming scales the magnitude of time-delayed channel signal by p-th root while maintaining the phase. After channel sum, the output dimensionality is restored by p-th power. The multiplicative coupling in BB-DMAS always renders baseband signal and thus the need for oversampling...

To form a B-mode image, delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming algorithm is the most commonly used algorithm because of its ease of implementation. However, this algorithm suffers from low image resolution and low contrast drawbacks. To address this issue, delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) beamforming ...
