EN The main goal of the paper is to compare the image compounding methods to minimise the artefacts arising in the Multi-Angle Conventional Ultrasound Imaging (MACUI) due to the system configuration. The MACUI method used for 3-D object imaging and the introduced imaging artefacts are described. Different ways of the image compounding by intensity averaging are presented in the work. Implemented methods of image compounding were tested for different types of objects mimicking soft tissue. The comparison allowed to determine the most appropriate method of intensity averaging in the compounding method. The method can be used to reduce the presence of image artefacts and enhance the quality of the resulting slices which are used to create 3-D volume of an object structure in MACUI method.
