ULTRASONIC WAVE-BASED DIAGNOSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF OBTAINING SUPERIOR ULTRASONIC WAVE IMAGES BY EFFICIENTLY IMPLEMENTING A FILTERING PROCESS AND AN IMAGE SYNTHESIZING PROCESS

摘要

PURPOSE: An ultrasonic wave-based diagnosing apparatus is provided to efficiently implement a filtering process and an image synthesizing process based on the blood flow information from the respect parts of a body. ;CONSTITUTION: A probe(100) transmits an ultrasonic signal to a target. The probe receives the ultrasonic signal reflected from the target. A beam-former(200) generates frame data by collecting the ultrasonic signal. A signal processing part(300) generates ultrasonic image data by digital-signal processing the frame data. The signal processing part obtains blood flow information from at least one position of the target. A matching part(400) determines a filtering mask corresponding to respect position based on the blood flow information. A filtering part(500) filters ultrasonic image data using the filtering mask and generates filtered ultrasonic image data. A synthesizing part(600) synthesizes ultrasonic data to form ultrasonic image. A display part(700) displays ultrasonic images.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
