                             tx_excitation, rx_excitation, method); 

Arguments

• transmit_aperture A FOCUS transducer array for the transmit aperture.
• receive_aperture A FOCUS transducer array for the receive aperture.
• scatterers An array of scatters as created by get_scatterer.
• medium A medium struct like the ones created by set_medium.
• fs The frequency used to calculate the B-mode data.
• ndiv The number of integral points to use.
• nalines The number of A-lines.
• tx_excitation An excitation function for the transmit aperture as created by set_excitation_function.
• rx_excitation An excitation function for the transmit aperture as created by set_excitation_function.
• method The simulation method. Options are:
• "impulse response" Uses the Matlab Impulse Response Imaging routine
• "impulse response c" Uses the MEX Impulse Response Imaging routine
• "fnm" Uses the Matlab FNM Imaging routine
• "fnm c" Uses the MEX FNM Imaging routine
• "hybrid c" Uses the MEX Hybrid Imaging routine

Output Parameters

• image_data The B-mode data.
