摘要： In general, embodiments of the ultrasound imaging system save power in relation to a predetermined active aperture and or a predetermined update depth. With respect to a predetermined active aperture, the imaging system saves power by reducing or turning off a predetermined portion of the receive electronics when the predetermined receive electronics portion is not operating in relation to the active aperture range. That is, in a first power saving mode, the predetermined receive electronics portion operates only when it is collecting and or processing the data inside the active aperture range. Furthermore, with respect to a predetermined update depth, the imaging system saves power by reducing the operational frequency as the predetermined receive electronics portion collects or process the data from a deeper area. That is, in a second power saving mode, the predetermined receive electronics portion operates less frequently when it is collecting and or processing the data from the middle or far range than the near range. Lastly, the imaging system saves power by modifying the operation as the predetermined receive electronics portion collects or process the data depending upon the active aperture and or the update depth. That is, in a third power saving mode, the predetermined receive electronics portion operates at least less frequently when it is collecting and or processing the data from the outside the active aperture and or at a far update depth. In other words, the third power saving mode is a hybrid or combination of the first and second power saving modes.

摘要： A system and method is disclosed for minimizing image artifacts, or the effect thereof, of electrical noise/interference caused by switch-mode power supplies of a diagnostic medical imaging system, such as a diagnostic medical ultrasound system. In one embodiment, one or more switch mode power supplies capable of being synchronized to an external clock signal are utilized to power the ultrasound system. The clock signal to the power supplies is provided by the system, generated, or otherwise derived from, the clock signal used by the imaging components, and phase-synchronized to the transmit and receive events of the imaging system. In this way, noise generated by the power supplies is synchronized with the imaging processes and, at least, will appear as a substantially constant artifact in the diagnostic images, allowing it to be readily ignored by a user or automatically removed therefrom.

摘要： An ultrasound imaging system enables 1.5D image information to be generated from a single firing of a linear transducer array by permitting dynamic control over the receive aperture. The imaging system comprises a transducer having a linear array of piezoelectric elements arranged in a plurality of distinct rows of the elements. The transducer is operable to provide acoustic pulses from elements of a first one of the rows in response to respective driving signals and to provide corresponding return signals in response thereto at elements of additional ones of the plurality of the rows and at the first one of the rows. A receiver is coupled to the transducer to receive a summed signal corresponding to the return signals from the elements. The receiver comprises a plurality of low voltage switches that couple to respective ones of the additional ones of the plurality of the rows, and a high voltage switch disposed in series with the low voltage switches. The timing of the high and low voltage switches is controlled to vary the focusing characteristics of the imaging system. A processor coupled to the receiver and the transducer generates a 1.5D image using the summed signal.
