Learning Objective(s)
After watching this activity you should be able to:

• Understand the core theory behind beamforming and image reconstruction;
• Identify modern trends in beamforming, such as transmit aperture synthesis;
• Implement image reconstruction using raw ultrasound signals, including practical considerations like computing “time zero,” adjusting sound speed, and avoiding aliasing; and
• Make key optimizations, such as demodulation, decimation, and baseband focusing.
