摘要： An ultrasonic transducer (30) is rotated until the displayed vessel (2) has the smallest area. The transducer is then tilted to various angles with respect to a normal, to a surface (20a), to obtain area and velocity measurements of fluid flow inside a vessel (2) in a body imaged. A least mean square error calculation is then performed to find the area and velocity that will minimize such error. The product of these two quantities is the estimated flow.

摘要： In an ultrasound imaging system, the mean velocity of a fluid flow, variance of velocity of the fluid flow and energy value of Doppler ultrasound signals from the flow in response to transmitted ultrasound are first estimated (40) from autocorrelation values of the signals to form a set of parameters (Vel)(Var)(Ene) for a corresponding sampling time or a corresponding sampling location. An averaging process (50) is then performed on two sets of the estimated parameters corresponding to a plurality of different sampling times in temporal filtering or on two sets of the estimated parameters corresponding to a plurality of different locations in spatial filtering. The filtered parameters (Vel")(Var")(Ene") are then compared to thresholds in a discrimination process (52) to reject noise and clutter.

摘要： A transmit beamformer (12) includes multiple transducers (16), each responsive to a respective transmit waveform to produce a respective transducer waveform. A transmit waveform generator generates the transmit waveforms, and the transmit waveforms each include multiple frequency components. Progressively higher frequency components of the transmit waveforms are timed to cause corresponding progressively higher frequency components of the transducer waveforms to focus along a line at progressively shorter ranges. In this way, a frequency dependent line focus is achieved.

摘要： This invention presents a multi-beam base band processor (R-125) for making post-beam formation adjustments to the complex (imphase/quadrature) pre-detection scan line samples acquired from a receive beam former (R-100) of an ultrasound imaging system (R-20). Specifically, the invention includes a programmable finite impulse response (FIR) filter and a programmable complex multiplier. The programmable filter performs signal shaping and sample rate conversion. The signal shaping capability may be used to compensate for transducer and analog signal path responses, to increase signal to noise ratio (SNR) by rejecting out of band noise frequencies, to operate as a matched filter to the transmitted waveform shape, and to act as both a smoothing and anti-alias filter during rate conversion operation. The programmable multiplier permits both amplitude and phase adjustments of the complex data that assures amplitude and phase coherency between acquired scan lines, compensating for the effects of a selected scan format or the differences in ultrasound frequencies used to produce each scan line.

摘要： Method and apparatus for enhancing the clarity of diagnostic information in real-time B-mode and M-mode ultrasound displays including a beamformer (1) for acquiring ultrasound signals, a signal processor for processing the ultrasound signal with programmable dynamically variable non-linear filters (4, 7), and a display (9) for viewing the ultrasound signals. The non-linear filters (4, 7) may process video signals in range along each ultrasound scan line or azimuthally along multiple ultrasound scan lines of a two-dimensional B-mode image. The non-linear filters (4, 7) also can be two-dimensionally programmable for processing video signals both in range along each ultrasound scan line and azimuthally along multiple ultrasound scan lines over regions of a two-dimensional B-mode image. The non-linear filter (4, 7) may be responsive to a local signal measurement and to spatial positions in a B-mode image for control of filter parameters. The non-linear filter (4, 7) can also be programmable to accomodate variable system characteristics for particular imaging applications.

摘要： An ultrasonic receive beamformer (10) includes transducers (11) forming receive signals that are applied to sub-array processors (12). Each sub-array processor includes at least one analog preconditioning circuit (13), phase shifter (14) and a summer (16), and each phase shifter is responsive to at least one of the transducer signals to shift the transducer signal by a respective phase angle and to apply the phase shifted transducer signals to the summer. Each of the summers supplies a summed sub-array signal via an analog-to-digital converter (18) to a respective beamformer processor (20). The phase angles for any one of the sub-array processors form a sum substantially equal to zero. Furthermore, the phase angles for any one of the sub-array processors are independent of the time delay of the respective digital beam former processor. The time resolution of the time delay of the digital beamformer processors is substantially as fine as the time resolution of the phase angles of the phase shifters. The phase angles of the phase shifters are updated at a slower rate than the focusing update rate of the beamformer processors.

The array (50) includes a plurality of even and odd numbered transducer elements (52, 51) where the even and odd numbered elements (52, 51) have an active region of particular widths. The width (62, 64, 66) of the active region of the odd numbered elements (51) is different than the width (66) of the active region of the even numbered elements (52) so that the odd numbered elements (51) can be used to image in one field of interest, while the even numbered elements (52) can be used to image in another field of interest.

摘要： A method and an apparatus are provided for dynamic, real time adaptive focussing (600) for ultrasound imaging. Aberration delay correction values, corresponding to an aberration region in an imaged subject, are measured (601) concurrently during B-mode imaging scan lines and updated at the scan line rate. The measured aberration delay correction values (Ek, L, Rk) are then applied concurrently (560) to correct the focus of all transmitted and received ultrasound scan lines, regardless of the imaging mode, scan geometry, or imaging frequencies.
