摘要： A magnetic resonance measuring equipment capable of detecting a nuclear magnetic resonance signal with a higher sensitivity and a higher resolution in comparison with related magnetic resonance measuring equipment. The magnetic resonance measuring equipment modulates a nuclear magnetic resonance signal by applying a vibration (sonic wave) of a known frequency, which is higher than the frequency of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal, to an examination object, and detects the modulated signal by performing lock-in detection, which makes it possible that the magnetic resonance measuring equipment detects the nuclear magnetic resonance signal with a high sensitivity. In addition, after irradiating a local area of the object with an ultrasonic wave, and modulating the nuclear magnetic resonance signal derived from the irradiated local area, the magnetic resonance measuring equipment can detect the nuclear magnetic resonance signal with a high resolution.

摘要： A weight value used for a beamforming process performed on received signals in an ultrasound imaging apparatus is obtained with a small amount of computations and with a high degree of precision, even when a method of adaptive signal processing is employed.Multiple elements 401 receive ultrasound signals from a test subject, and the similarity operator 404 obtains the similarity between the received signals x(n). By using the similarity C(n) between the received signals obtained by the similarity operator 404, the adaptive weight operator 407 computes the adaptive weight w(n) in association with the similarity. The beamforming operator 408 uses the adaptive weight w(n) and the received signal x(n) to generate a beamforming output. The imaging processor 108 uses the beamforming output to generate image data. By way of example, the similarity operator 404 performs computations of the similarity in the time direction.

摘要： An ultrasonic image capturing apparatus is disclosed for transmitting ultrasonic pulses from an ultrasonic probe in which elements are arranged two-dimensionally to a subject, receiving the ultrasonic pulses reflected by the subject, and displaying a slice image of the subject. A vector Doppler processor detects motion of the subject along the direction of an aperture of a receiving beam former, and a displacement detector detects motion of a focus region in the subject based on a result of computation of the vector Doppler processor. A scanning plate setting section determines an image capturing region by using ultrasonic waves by the displacement detector.
