摘要： The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus and method for the urinary bladder. The ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus has a preliminary scan mode and a scan mode. The ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus first operates in the preliminary scan mode and operates in the scan mode after accurately detecting the location of the urinary bladder, thus measuring the amount of urine in the urinary bladder. When operating in the preliminary scan mode, the ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus receives pieces of ultrasonic information of n scan lines for a single plane, and acquires and displays an image for a corresponding plane using the pieces of received ultrasonic information. When operating in the scan mode, the ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus sequentially receives pieces of ultrasonic information of n scan lines for each of m planes from a transducer, and calculates the amount of urine in the urinary bladder using the pieces of received ultrasonic information. The ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus according to the present invention operates in the preliminary scan mode, so that the location of the urinary bladder can be quickly and accurately detected, therefore the amount of urine in the urinary bladder also can be quickly and accurately detected.

摘要： An ultrasonic imaging system (10) includes an ultrasonic transducer (16) having an image data array (18) and a tracking array (20) at each end of the image data array (18). The tracking arrays (20, 22) are oriented traversely to the image data array (18). Images from the image data array (18) are used to reconstruct a three-dimensional representation of the target. The relative movement between respective frames of the image data is automatically estimated by a motion estimator (38) based on frames of data from the tracking arrays (20, 22). As the transducer (16) is rotated about the azimuthal axis of the image data array (18), features of the target remain within the image planes of the tracking arrays (20, 22). Movements of these features in the image planes of the tracking arrays are used to estimate motion as required for the three-dimensional reconstruction. Similar techniques estimate motion within the plane of an image to create an extended field of view.

摘要： The invention relates to a method or a device for recording ultrasonic images of an object (1) in which ultrasonic waves are radiated onto the object (1) by an ultrasonic emitter, and ultrasonic waves reflected by the object (1) are received by an ultrasonic receiver. For recording individual image partial areas (6), the ultrasonic emitter or ultrasonic receiver (18) is displaced along the object (1) or is at least partially rotated with regard to the object (1). The corresponding movement (S) of the ultrasonic transmitter or of the ultrasonic receiver (4, 18) is progressively detected by a detector (9, 23) and is assigned to the individual image partial areas (6). As a result, it is possible to record the object (1) by manually moving the ultrasonic transducer (4), whereby an incremental detector serves as a detector (9, 23) for progressively detecting the movement (S). The distances (δx, δα) between individual image partial areas (6) can be then be determined by evaluating the progressively detected positions of the ultrasound transducer (4) which are then assigned to the individual image partial areas (6).

摘要： Circuitry for reducing side to side jitter in an ultrasound imaging system using a transducer which is mechanically scanned back and forth to cover the area to be imaged. The circuitry includes a filter circuit (62) for providing a correction signal to be added to the transducer position signal. The filter circuit provides a phase lead proportional to the rate of change of the transducer movement. This signal is scaled by a factor which varies linearly as the depth being imaged changes. The correction signal compensates for delays through the transducer positioning and driver circuitry and for depth dependent delays resulting from the movement of the transducer during the scanning operation.

摘要： Disclosure is a fan-shape scanning flaw detecting apparatus which comprises: a prove (1) provided with an ultrasonic wave transmitting-and-receiving array transducer (2) arranged along a circular arc and an acoustic lens (3) for converging and converting an ultrasonic beam (2a) transmitted/received by the array transducer (2) into a substantially parallel beam (3a); a scanning function section (6, 7 and 8) for sequentially switching the transmitting and receiving operation of a group of operative transducer elements of the array transducer (2) so as to make the ultrasonic beam (3a) perform fan-shape scanning; a picturizing processor section (11) for forming a sectional image of an object (4) to be examined on the basis of an echo signal (7a) obtained from the object to be examined; a display section (12) for displaying the sectional image; and a position detecting section (14) for detecting a position ( x ) where the ultrasonic beam (3a) is incident to the object to be examined when the prove is made to run along a surface of the object to be examined so as to perform the flaw detecting operation. In the apparatus, image information of a sectional image of the object to be examined under a running path of the prove is formed by the picturizing processor section on the basis of information representing the position ( x ) of the ultrasonic beam (3a) incident to the object to be examined obtained from the position detecting section and information representing a position and reflection intensity of a reflection source (43) inside the object to be examined obtained on the basis of a reflection signal of a transmitted ultrasonic pulse reflected by the reflection source, and the sectional image information is then read and displayed by the display section.

摘要： An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system scans a plurality of planar slices in a volumetric region which are parallel to each other. Following detection of the image data of the slices the slice data is combined by projecting the data in the elevation dimension to produce a “thick slice” image. Combining may be by means of an averaging or maximum intensity detection or weighting process or by raycasting in the elevation dimension in a volumetric rendering process. Thick slice images are displayed at a high frame rate of display by combining a newly acquired slice with slices previously acquired from different elevational planes which were used in a previous combination. A new thick slice image may be produced each time at least one of the slice images is updated by a newly acquired slice. Frame rate is further improved by multiline acquisition of the slices.

摘要： Transesophageal echocardiography is implemented using a miniature transversely oriented transducer that is preferably small enough to fit in a 7.5 mm diameter probe, and most preferably small enough to fit in a 5 mm diameter probe. Signal processing techniques improve the depth of penetration to the point where the complete trans-gastric short axis view of the left ventricle can be obtained, despite the fact that the transducer is so small. The reduced diameter of the probe (as compared to prior art probes) reduces risks to patients, reduces or eliminates the need for anesthesia, and permits long term direct-visualization monitoring of patients' cardiac function.
