Plane wave imaging combined with eigenspace-based minimum variance beamforming using a ring array in ultrasound computed tomography

Abstract Background Ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) is usually realized with a ring array. It can provide better imaging performance and more tissue information by emitting and receiving the ultrasound signal in different directions simultaneously. However, USCT imaging is usually applied with...
