Abstract: An ultrasound image compounding method that is suitable for use with an ICE catheter that includes a first ultrasound transceiver array and a second ultrasound transceiver array, the first ultrasound transceiver array and the second ultrasound transceiver array being axially separated along a length of the ICE catheter, is described. In the method, first array data corresponding to ultrasound signals detected by the first ultrasound transducer array in response to an insonification of a region of interest by the first ultrasound transducer array at a first insonification angle; and second array data corresponding to ultrasound signals detected by the second ultra- sound transducer array in response to an insonification of the region of interest by the second ultrasound transducer array at a second insonification angle; are received. A compound image corresponding to the region of interest is generating based on the first array data and the second array data.
