    摘要: Methods and systems for monitoring a transducer array in an ultrasound probe are provided. One method includes acquiring ultrasound data using an ultrasound probe during an imaging mode of operation, wherein the ultrasound data includes echo information. The method further includes comparing the echo information from a plurality of transducer elements of a transducer array of the ultrasound probe during the imaging mode of operation, wherein the echo information is non-beamformed signal data. The method also includes determining non-uniformity information for the transducer array using the compared echo information during the imaging mode of operation.

    摘要: A method for clutter filter processing is provided. The method provides for extracting a blood component from an element signal produced by an element to obtain a filtered element signal, and extracting a blood component from a beamsum signal to obtain a filtered beamsum signal, calculating a time delay estimate between the filtered element signal and the filtered beamsum signal, or between the filtered element signal and the beam sum signal, or between the element signal and the filtered beamsum signal and applying the time delay estimate to correct transmit and receive beamforming time delays for the element. Systems and apparatus that afford functionality of the type defined by this method may be provided by the present technique.
