2d Ultrasonic Imaging Diagnostic System (2d) with a family of 2d imaging probes

摘要

Abstract Ultrasonic Diagnostic System for Two-Dimensional Imaging (2d) with a Family of 2d Imaging Probes The present invention relates to a 2d ultrasound diagnostic imaging system that has several different probes for different clinical applications. each 2d imaging probe has a one-dimensional matrix transducer and one or more micro-beam formers coupled to the individual matrix elements. preferably the microfix formers are the same and serve as a standard system component. Microfixers combine signals from their transducer elements and each probe has four to sixteen partially formed beam signal outputs. The mainframe system has a four to sixteen channel beam former that completes the beam forming process for each probe. 1/1
