K-space compounding. (from top left, clockwise) Individual element data are focused and combined according to their k-space index – the sum of their transmit and receive array positions. K-space is partitioned into overlapping regions, each of which forms a low resolution subimage. Subimages are incoherently combined by averaging envelope data to produce an image with reduced texture and improved detectability.
