    摘要: In ultrasonic transmission from and reception by an array probe in a phased array sonar, when an ultrasonic beam is directed substantially in front of the array probe, an ultrasonic wave having a high center frequency f.sub.o, or a bandwidth extending into higher frequencies, is transmitted and/or received in order to insure a high image resolution. When the ultrasonic beam is steered sideways, an ultrasonic wave having a lower center frequency f.sub.o, or a higher frequency range cutoff in relation to a steering angle .theta., is transmitted and/or received in order to increase the angle at which grating lobes are generated and hence prevent such grating lobes from entering the angle range of the field of view.

    摘要: An echo signal receiver receives higher level echo signals reflected from strong reflections sources or reflecting sources at areas close to a probe in a range of higher frequencies, and also receives lower level echo signals reflected from weak reflection sources or sources at areas remote from the probe in a range of low frequencies. The echo signal receiver comprises a multiple stage amplifier circuit for receiving the echo signal. Outputs from amplifiers at front stages are delivered via filters having higher frequency bands, and outputs from amplifiers at rear stages are delivered via filters having lower frequency bands. The outputs are passed through the filters and then combined into a single processed echo signal. As an alternative, a video signal derived from an echo signal which has passed through a circuit for varying frequency characteristics is compared with a reference voltage by a comparator, which produces an output that is rounded off by removing high frequency components in a low pass filter. The rounded off signal is fed to a circuit for varying frequency characteristics to control the same to change its frequency ban while the signal is being received. In another embodiment, the echo signal is received through a variable low cut filter having a cutoff frequency which can be increased or reduced dependent on the level of the echo signal.

    摘要: An ultrasonic diagnostic method and apparatus are provided for probing the condition in a tissue of a living body by projecting an ultrasonic beam onto the living body from a vibrator array transducer probe consisting of a plurality of tiny ultrasonic vibrators. The apparatus executes two scanning actions, of which one is a normal linear scanning that drives the ultrasonic vibrators sequentially in the manner to cause a sequential parallel shift of the ultrasonic beam substantially perpendicular to the vibrator array, and the other of which is an inclined linear scanning that drives the ultrasonic vibrators at individually different timings while sequentially shifting the driven vibrators in the manner to cause sequential parallel shift of the ultrasonic beam having an angle of inclination against the vibrator array. The images obtained through the normal linear scanning and the inclined linear scanning are combined to form a composite high-resolution image.

    摘要: The image diagnosis apparatus of the present invention is equipped with means for automatically determining a window level and a window width for image displaying in accordance with the value of reconstructed image data. With this window level/window width calculating means (13), the window level is obtained with respect to each reconstructed image on the basis of the virtual average value of its pixel data and the window width is also obtained which has a certain relationship with that window level. When displaying each reconstructed image, a display is made in accordance with each window level and each window width thus obtained. Instead of the obtained window level and window width, those set by a manual setting section (23) may be used by a changeover operation when necessary.

    摘要: An object which can provide a reference for measuring the intensity of a primary magnetic field, is positioned in the vicinity of a subject being examined. A variation in the primary magnetic field intensity is detected, based on a frequency shift of data observed of the object, and is used to control the primary magnetic field intensity, or reference frequency for phase detection, or to correct image data. In this manner image quality is prevented from being degraded due to the variation of the primary magnetic field intensity.

    摘要: A medical image recording apparatus according to the present invention in which the optical path length of the optical system is extremely short and the number of mechanical operating mechanisms is reduced electronically scans an LED array assembly (14) having a plurality of one-dimensionally arranged LED's with an LED array controller (28) and feeds a photosensitive recording medium (15) in a direction perpendicular to the direction of arrangement of the LED's by means of a motor (17) controlled by a film feed controller (29). The LED array controller and the film feed controller are operated on the basis of commands given from a scanning controller (27) which is controlled by a CPU. The quantity of light emitted from each individual LED in the LED array assembly is controlled in accordance with a signal given to the LED array controller, the signal being formed in such a manner that image data which is stored in an image data storing memory (22) through an input interface (21) is formatted by means of an image formatter (25) and then converted into an analog signal by means of a D/A converter (26) or a pulse-width modulation circuit (30).

    摘要: An NMR imaging domain is required to have a uniform distribution of static magnetic field. However, it is very difficult to generate a uniform magnetic field for an entire imaging domain, which is usually a spherical domain. The invention advantageously, exploits the requirement that to obtain imaging the static magnetic field need only be uniform as the slicing part. Thus, sufficient uniformity of static magnetic field is obtained in the invention by providing one or more shim coils to a static magnetic field generating coil and selectively controlling current to be applied to each shim coil in relation to data defining the imaging domain.

    摘要: An ultrasonic probe for puncture treatments is constructed in a manner that a guide member, for guiding a puncture needle, is provided on a side surface of an ultrasonic probe of a linear scanning type, with a needle being positioned by the guide member to be movable at right angles to the surface of the body of a patient, and a beam of ultrasonic wave is emitted by the probe in a direction oblique to the length dimension of the needle. The probe may be positioned obliquely to the needle, in which case, an acoustic coupling member of a wedge shape is inserted in the gap formed between the emitting end of the probe and the body. Alternatively, the probe may be positioned parallel with the needle in which case a wedge shaped member capable of deflecting the ultrasonic waves, is placed on the emitting end of the probe, and a wedge shaped acoustic coupling member is connected to the deflecting member so as to deflect the ultrasonic waves to be oblique to the needle within the body. The needle may be an acupuncture needle, a cannula, a tube, or the like.
