Plane-Wave Contrast Imaging: A Radiation Force Point of View.

Radiation force is known to produce microbubble axial displacements by an amount that depends on the transmit burst frequency, amplitude, and length, as well as the pulse repetition frequency (PRF). In the standard focused-imaging mode, the actual PRF experienced by each microbubble is low, because it is of the order of the frame rate (i.e.
