Total Focusing Method (TFM)

  • Total Focusing Method or Total Electronic Focusing (TFM): electronic focusing consists of adapting the receiving delay laws to focus at many points which form a grid, after a single pulse which generates a large and/or divergent ultrasonic beam

​

  • Full Matrix Capture (FMC): full matrix capture specific data-acquisition process using ultrasonic array probes where each element in an array is successively used as the transmitter, while all elements are used as receivers for each transmitted pulse
