RF processing algorithm

This algorithm can convert RF data to B-mode images. The conversion is performed in two steps:

• Brightness conversion: the RF samples converted to brightness values

• Scan conversion: RF lines are pasted into an image according to the defined transducer geometry. To convert recorded RF data to B-mode use the ApplicationRfProcessor.

Information on transducer geometry can be obtained from the probe manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not disclose all necessary information or to verify the transducer geometry: acquire a B-mode and an RF-mode frame of the same object and compare the received B-mode image to the B-mode image that RfProcessor constructed from the received RF frame
