Intermediate processing results of the bone enhancement method. (A) Raw, unprocessed B-mode image. (B) The shadow image, S(i,j), computed as described in the methods section. (C) Intermediate image computed by dividing the raw image (A) by the shadow image, S(i,j), and scaling by a sigmoid to increase bone contrast. (D) The final image with enhanced bone signals and suppressed tissue signals.
