摘要： An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes a probe, a controller, a processor, and an output unit. The probe is configured to perform an interleaving scan in Doppler groups of ultrasound beam directions so as to acquire first and second Doppler-mode image frames. The controller is coupled to the probe and configured to control the first probe to treat a last group of the ultrasound beam directions for the first Doppler-mode image frame and an initial group of the ultrasound beam directions for the second Doppler-mode image frame as one Doppler group of the ultrasound beam directions. The processor is coupled to the probe and configured to detect a Doppler-mode signal based on the interleaving scan so as to prepare the first and second Doppler-mode image frames. The output unit is coupled to the processor and configured to output the prepared first and second Doppler-mode image frames.

摘要： After an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus is temporally placed on the receptacle of a docking cart to relieve a weight load, the portable ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus is placed at a predetermined position by sliding the apparatus while guiding it along the shapes of the edges of the receptacle. After the portable ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus is slid on the receptacle and rear foot portions come into contact with the stoppers of the receptacle, the front side of the portable ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus is placed on the receptacle. With this operation, front foot portions are fitted in fitting portions, and the portable ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus is placed at an accurate position on the receptacle. In addition, when an operator places the portable ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus on the receptacle or lifts the portable ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus from the receptacle, the fingers which grasp the apparatus are placed in the recessed portions of the receptacle.

摘要： An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprises a transmission and reception unit, a blood flow image generating unit, a Doppler spectrum image generating unit and a scanning sequence setting unit. The transmission and reception unit transmits first and second ultrasonic waves to an object and receive first and second echo signals from the object. The blood flow image generating unit generates a blood flow image from the first echo signals. The Doppler spectrum image generating unit generates a Doppler spectrum image from the second echo signals. The scanning sequence setting unit sets up a scanning sequence with mutual transmission and reception of the first and the second ultrasonic waves. The scanning sequence setting unit alters the scanning sequence into one having a modulated number of ensembles so as to make a frame rate of the blood flow image beyond a predetermined preset value.
