The fundamental (left) and harmonic (right) PSFs showing clutter resulting from the propagation of an ultrasonic pulse through an abdominal wall. The harmonic PSF shows a significant reduction in clutter preceding the ultrasonic pulse, which is associated with reverberation clutter. There is a smaller reduction in clutter in the trailing region, which is associated with pulse lengthening.
