ULTRASOUND PROBE, ULTRASOUND IMAGING APPARATUS COMPRISING SAME, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to an ultrasound probe, an ultrasound imaging apparatus comprising the same, and a control method thereof, and more specifically, in a pulse inversion harmonic imaging technique, to a technology to control a switching device installed in an ultrasound probe and to change a pulse signal received by the ultrasound probe. According to an embodiment of the present invention the ultrasound probe comprises: a transducer array which transmits/receives an ultrasonic wave; a printed circuit board which is electrically connected to the transducer array and which transfers a pulse signal received from the main frame of an ultrasound imaging apparatus to the transducer array; and a switching circuit which changes the wave form of the pulse signal which is received by the printed circuit board and which is transferred to the transducer array. The present invention aims to remove the occurrence of a remaining signal by application of an asymmetric inversion signal and to improve the resolution of an image.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
