    摘要: Disclosed is an ultrasonic Doppler imaging apparatus in which the velocity of a blood flow in a living body can be computed with high precision without increasing a scale of a signal processing circuit, so that a Doppler color image having satisfactory image quality is displayed. In the apparatus, an ultrasonic pulse signal is transmitted into the living body and is reflected from a target in the living body to be received by an ultrasonic probe, and the reception signal is subjected to quadrature phase detection to obtain an I signal and a Q signal. When an amplitude evaluating unit evaluates on the basis of the intensity of the I and Q signals that the reception signal contains many clutter components, a cut-off frequency of high-pass filters is increased by the application of a control signal (A) to thereby eliminate low-frequency clutter components. The outputs of the high-pass filters are converted into blood flow velocity information to be displayed as a Doppler color image.

    摘要: A beam former for a ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is arranged to have low-bit analog-to-digital converters and enables to obtain an excellent echo signal from blood flow. The beam former further includes a sample and hold circuit for sampling an echo signal of a pulse reflected from the inside of a human body. A delaying circuit serves to delay the output of the sample and hold circuit by a delay time corresponding to an integer multiple of a transmitted pulse period and is subtracted from the output of the sample and hold circuit. The subtracted output is analog-to-digital converted and is stored in a memory. The memory reads out the data asynchronously with the storage. The delaying circuit is composed of an analog-to-digital converter, a memory and a digital-to-analog converter and has a delay time corresponding to an integer multiple of the transmitted pulse period.

    摘要: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a probe which outputs RF signals. There are N phase detectors for converting the RF signals outputted from the probe into baseband signals In and Qn, where “N” denotes a first predetermined natural number and “n” denotes a second predetermined natural number set as 2≦n≦N. A reception beam former operates for processing the baseband signals In and Qn into a time-division-multiplexed signal. The reception beam former includes a device for multiplying the baseband signals In and Qn by phase shift data to generate multiplication-resultant signals, a device for delaying the multiplication-resultant signals to generate delay-resultant signals, and a device for combining the delay-resultant signals into the time-division-multiplexed signal.

    摘要: An ultrasonic Doppler imaging apparatus emits ultrasonic pulse waves to an object body under test and provides information on blood flow in the body based on Doppler shifts of ultrasonic waves reflected back from the object body. The ultrasonic pulse waves emitted by a probe to the object body undergo Doppler shifts by being reflected by the blood stream, and the reflected ultrasonic waves received by the probe are decomposed with an A/D converter in synchronism with emission. The decomposed data are transformed into complex Doppler data through a quadrature addition/subtraction by quadrature addition/subtraction means. The complex Doppler data is subjected to frequency analysis through correlative computation or the like, and resulting data is stored in a frame memory and displayed. The apparatus is capable of measuring the Doppler shift frequency accurately.

    摘要: A system for analyzing an echo image containing a contour of an organ with reduced manual operation is provided. The echo image is first obtained. A user manually sets, say, four points as known or initial points such that two of the known points provide a width of the contour and the other two of the known points provide a height of the contour. A search region including a connecting line segment connecting each pair of adjacent ones of the known points is set on the contour. A search line segment that originates from a point bisecting the connecting line segment of the search region and reaches an end of the search region is set. Each search line segment is sought for a contour point constituting the contour. A contour is formed by connecting the contour points on the search line segments. Three points may be set as the initial points such that two of the initial points provide a width of the contour and the other one is on top of the contour.
