摘要： An ultrasonic imaging system for displaying color flow images includes a receiver which demodulates ultrasonic echo signals received by a transducer array and dynamically focuses the baseband echo signals. A color flow processor includes a frequency domain adaptive wall filter which automatically adjusts to changes in Doppler-shifted frequency and bandwidth of the wall signal components in the focused baseband echo signals after the echo signals have undergone Fourier transformation into the frequency domain. The mean Doppler-shifted frequency of the resulting filtered baseband echo signals is used to indicate velocity of moving scatterers and to control color in the displayed image.

摘要： A method for generating an output stream of digital data words, with each data word representing the amplitude of an analog signal at one of a multiplicity F samples each second and with substantially equally spaced time intervals T therebetween, is obtained from a digital baseband demodulation system used for array beam forming. A data stream, formed of interleaved ADC output digital data words acquired from a set of converters, is at a rate of F total samples/second. Subsequent digital demodulation, filtration, and decimation provides digital output signals which need less delay resolution prior to the formation of coherent sum signals, thereby reducing overall channel memory requirements. The output baseband data stream has enhanced dynamic range, thereby reducing the ADC bit density requirements.

摘要： A method for dynamic focus of received energy, in a vibratory energy imaging system, into a beam in which contribution from transducers in an array of N such transducers, are progressively enabled to contribute to beam focussing dependent upon distance between a particular j-th transducer (where 1.ltoreq.j.ltoreq.N) is responsive to the depth, or range R, of the focal point at any instant of time; the initial steering angle .theta., with respect to the array normal, is used in conjunction with a range clock, to determine the time when each off-normal transducer channel is enabled to add to the beam (dynamic apodization) and to finely adjust the channel time delay to properly focus the beam after the enablement of the channel.

摘要： A method for generating a stream of digital data words, each representing an analog signal amplitude from a beam of vibratory energy received by a plurality N of transducers each associated with one of a like number of separate channels of a phased array, uses the steps of: sampling, after a delay of a multiple number of cycles at a fixed frequency F, an analog input signal in each channel at a fixed frequency F for conversion to a digital data word at each sample; then demodulating the digital data word stream in each channel to baseband and reducing the data word rate by a factor D; and phase-rotating the baseband data stream of each channel by a phase difference .DELTA..phi. determined by the focal range R and steering angle .theta. to obtain, along both the sampling delay, a different channel time delay t.sub.d,j, for each j-th channel, where 1.ltoreq.j.ltoreq.N, necessary to steer and focus the beam to a desired angle/range combination. Apparatus for generating the stream of digital data words is disclosed, and uses a special output-switching section in each channel to allow a pipelined coherent summation to be obtained across the entire phased transducer array.

摘要： A two-dimensional ultrasonic phase array is a rectilinear approximation to a circular aperture and is formed by a plurality of transducers, arranged substantially symmetrical about both a first (X) axis and a second (Y) axis and in a plurality of subarrays, each extended in a first direction (i.e. parallel to the scan axis X) for the length of a plurality of transducers determined for that subarray, but having a width of a single transducer extending in a second, orthogonal (the out-of-scan-plane, or Y) direction to facilitate dynamic focussing and/or dynamic apodization. Each subarray transducer is formed of a plurality of sheets (part of a 2-2 ceramic composite) all electrically connected in parallel by a transducer electrode applied to juxtaposed first ends of all the sheets in each transducer, while a common electrode connects the remaining ends of all sheets in each single X-coordinate line of the array.

摘要： An optical communication system for ultrasound imaging systems employs a light source and photodetector array in the imaging console. The light source and photodetector array are coupled to each other through an optical fiber passing through the probe. Information from the probe is communicated to the console by an optical modulator, situated in the optical path from source to detector. The ultrasound signals are converted into electrical signals by probe electronics, and these electrical signals serve to alter either the phase or amplitude of optical signals passing through the modulator. Since the light source and photodetectors reside in the imaging console, very little power is dissipated in the probe.
