Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an ultrasonic apparatus for imaging an ultrasonic signal and a control method for the same. The ultrasonic apparatus may include a transducer configured to irradiate a plurality of ultrasonic waves which have different traveling directions onto an object and to collect a plurality of echo ultrasonic waves reflected from the object; and a controller configured to acquire a plurality of sound velocities of the plurality of ultrasonic waves in the object and to compound the acquired plurality of sound velocities in order to determine a composite sound velocity in the object.
Abstract:
A transmit beamforming apparatus, receive beamforming apparatus, ultrasonic probe having the same, ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, and beamforming method are provided. The transmit beamforming apparatus for transmitting ultrasound beams by using a plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements includes a transmit beamformer configured for forming a transmit signal pattern by applying a delay time to a transmit signal that corresponds to at least one of the plurality of ultrasonic transducer elements; and a transmission controller configured for determining a delay frequency to be applied in conjunction with the application of the delay time.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a high voltage switching circuit which includes one or more main switching devices connected to one or more current sources, and a control circuit unit configured to control a potential difference between terminals of each of the main switching devices within a predetermined range by receiving current from the one or more current sources.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic apparatus includes a transducer configured to irradiate ultrasonic waves in different traveling directions onto an object and collect echo ultrasonic waves reflected from the object, and a controller configured to determine blood flow velocities of blood flowing in the object based on the echo ultrasonic waves, compound the determined blood flow velocities, and determine a composite blood flow velocity of the blood flowing in the object based on the compounded blood flow velocities.
