摘要： A nonlinear distortion-based ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system displays a raised-resolution video of tissue inside a body at an increased frame rate. Using a two-pulse technique, a transducer driver supplies narrower-width and wider-width driving pulses to a transducer, which transmits weaker and stronger ultrasonic wave pulses alternately while putting the same intervals between adjacent ultrasonic wave pulses to obtain a weaker echo and a stronger echo. An equalizer equalizes each weaker echo to the stronger echo into an equalized weaker echo. An interpolator calculates an interpolation value between the equalized weaker echo and an equalized previous weaker echo obtained from a previous weaker echo. For each weaker ultrasonic wave pulse, a detector finds a difference between the interpolation value and a stronger echo obtained between the weaker echo and the previous weaker echo. The equalization and interpolation enables high-speed scanning, which has not been achieved with two-pulse technique. Thus, a raised-resolution video signal of the tissue is formed at an increased frame rate on the basis of the difference signal and a scan control signal which is also used in the transducer.

摘要： An ultrasonic diagnostic system includes a transducer. A first electric drive signal is fed to the transducer. A second electric drive signal is fed to the transducer at a time different from a time of the feed of the first electric drive signal thereto. The second electric drive signal has a waveform different from a waveform of the first electric drive signal. A first received signal is derived from an output signal of the transducer. The first received signal represents ultrasonic echoes related to an ultrasonic beam caused by the transducer in response to the first electric drive signal. A second received signal is derived from the output signal of the transducer. The second received signal represents ultrasonic echoes related to an ultrasonic beam caused by the transducer in response to the second electric drive signal. The first received signal is subjected to a waveform equalizing process, thereby being converted into a third received signal having a waveform corresponding to a waveform of the second received signal. A calculator operates for calculating a difference between the second received signal and the third received signal, and generating a signal representing the calculated difference.

摘要： In accordance with the principles of the present invention, advantage is taken by the inventors of the fact that the speed of operation of the digital hardware in a digital beamformer can be reduced by providing, for example, multiple phases of the data signals and then processing the multi-phase data in N parallel summing paths. An interpolation-decimation filter receives the multi-phase data from the N parallel summing paths and provides at its output a signal having a reduced data rate (1/N). In accordance with this technique, the speed of operation of the individual digital circuits for forming the required beamforming delays is not increased as compared to conventional post-beamforming interpolation schemes, so that hereby the effective data rate is increased by a factor N and results in a decrease of the delay quantization error by a factor N. In accordance with the principles of the invention, the interpolation-decimation filter is incorporated into the beamformer at a most advantageous place. That is, it is incorporated into the beamformer processing after partial beamforming of a group of receive channels and before formation of the final beam. This approach allows the final beamforming to be simple and performed at a relatively low data rate and allows the higher rate signal processing to be confined to circuitry which may advantageously be on a single type of integrated circuit which is repetitively used in the beamformer.

摘要： An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a linear array of piezoelectric transducers or plates with a width-to-thickness ratio of less than 0.8 and a control circuit which includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter comprises a plurality of transmitting channels each including a local oscillator for generating an ultrasonic pulse in response to a clock signal. The plurality of such ultrasonic pulses are applied through a switching network to a selected group of successively arranged piezoelectric transducers to transmit a beam of ultrasonic energy into a human body. Each of the ultrasonic pulses is phase shifted and amplitude modulated with respect to the ultrasonic pulses of the other transmitting channels to provide phase and amplitude taper which results in a narrow width beam through the depth of the body. The ultrasonic energy returned from discontinuities between different tissues is detected by the activated transducers and applied through the switching network to the receiver in which each of the return signals is phase shifted and amplitude modulated with respect to the other signals to provide an output signal which is displayed on a cathode ray tube screen.
