There is provided a method for reverberation and/or clutter suppression in ultrasonic imaging, comprising: computing similarity measures between voxels within a cine-loop or subset of the cine-loop, to assess their spatial and/or temporal self-similarity; for at least one of: (i) each voxel; (ii) each group of adjacent voxels within the cine-loop or subset of the cine-loop; and (iii) each group of voxels which are determined to be affected by reverberations and/or clutter, based on one or more criteria; computing one or more reverberation and/or clutter parameters; and for at least one of: (i) each voxel; (ii) each group of adjacent voxels within the cine-loop or subset of the cine-loop; and (iii) each group of voxels which are determined to be reverberation and/or clutter affected voxels, based on one or more criteria, applying reverberation and/or clutter suppression using the corresponding reverberation and/or clutter suppression parameters.
