Method and system for processing beamformed data

A system for processing beamformed data of a medium, the system comprising:

• a transducer device comprising one or more transducer elements, the one or more transducer elements being configured to emit an ultrasound wave and to transform a received ultrasound wave into a signal;
• a processor operatively coupled to the transducer device;
• a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform a set of operations comprising:
• obtaining beamformed data for the medium;
• selecting a first set of beamformed data associated with a first spatial region;
• determining a second set of beamformed data associated with a plurality of second spatial regions;
• and
• estimating clutter caused by the plurality of second spatial regions at the first set of beamformed data based only on the second set of beamformed data.

A method of improving a quality of beamformed data of a medium, the beamformed data being generated via a transducer device, the method comprising:

• obtaining beamformed data for the medium;
• selecting a first set of beamformed data associated with a first spatial region;
• determining a second set of beamformed data associated with a plurality of second spatial regions;
• and
• estimating clutter caused by the first spatial region at the second set of beamformed data based only on the first set of beamformed data.
