An eikonal expansion is considered which yields an impact-parameter representation for the scattering T matrix. The dependence on momentum transfer is summed to all orders by means of a conjecture to obtain a standard impact-parameter representation. As a result, phase-corrected eikonal formulas are obtained which are shown to improve on the Glauber approximation systematically at large scattering angles, in contrast to the Abarbanel-Itzykson approximation. Regge behavior is found.
