Abstract
An ultrasound system and method for adaptively compensating for a spectral downshift of a signal is disclosed. The ultrasound system includes an ultrasonic probe and a processor. The ultrasonic probe transmits an ultrasonic signal to the object and receives an ultrasonic echo signal from the object. The processor forms a complex baseband signal including an in-phase component signal and a quadrature component signal based on an ultrasonic echo signal, determines a phase shift and a phase dispersion based on the complex baseband signal, And filters the demodulated baseband signal by a dynamic filter to adaptively compensate for the spectral downshift of the ultrasonic echo signal.
Description
The present disclosure relates to an ultrasound system, and more particularly to an ultrasound system and method for adaptively compensating for a spectral downshift of a signal.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Ultrasonic systems are widely used in the medical field to obtain information about objects of interest within an object. The ultrasound system can provide a high-resolution image of a target object in real time using a high-frequency sound wave without the need for a surgical operation to directly cut the target object. Ultrasonic systems have non-invasive and non-destructive properties and are widely used in the medical field.
The ultrasound system transmits an ultrasound signal to a target object and receives an ultrasound signal (i.e., an ultrasound echo signal) reflected from the target object. In addition, the ultrasound system forms a receive focusing signal by performing a beam forming process on an ultrasonic echo signal, performs a quadrature demodulation on the receive focusing signal to form a complex baseband signal, And forms an ultrasound image of the object based on the band signal.
Generally, when the ultrasonic signal propagates to the object, the ultrasonic signal is attenuated by the medium of the object. This attenuation of the ultrasonic signal causes a spectral (frequency) downshift to the ultrasonic echo signal reflected from the medium of the object. The spectral downshift of the ultrasonic echo signal deteriorates the performance of the orthogonal demodulation and deteriorates the image quality of the ultrasound image.
Dynamic quadrature demodulation is used to dynamically adjust the demodulation frequency and the cutoff frequency of the filter to compensate for the spectral downshift of such an ultrasonic echo signal. However, the dynamic quadrature demodulation compensates the spectral downshift of the ultrasonic echo signal, assuming that the medium in the object is uniform and the attenuation coefficient of the ultrasonic echo signal is the same. Therefore, the dynamic quadrature demodulation equally compensates for the spectral downshift even for the ultrasonic echo signal of the medium having the damping coefficient which is not constant, thereby deteriorating the image quality of the ultrasound image.
The present disclosure provides an ultrasound system and method for forming a complex baseband signal based on an ultrasound echo signal from a subject and adaptively compensating for a spectral downshift of the ultrasound echo signal based on the complex baseband signal.
In one embodiment, the ultrasound system includes an ultrasound probe and a processor. The ultrasonic probe is configured to transmit the ultrasonic signal to the object and receive the ultrasonic echo signal from the object. The processor forms a complex baseband signal including an in-phase component signal and a quadrature component signal based on an ultrasonic echo signal, determines a phase shift and a phase dispersion based on the complex baseband signal, And to filter the complex baseband signal by a dynamic filter to adaptively compensate for the spectral downshift of the ultrasound echo signal based on the received signal.
In another embodiment, a method of adaptively compensating for a spectral downshift comprises the steps of: transmitting an ultrasound signal to a target and receiving an ultrasound echo signal from the target; Comprising: forming a complex baseband signal comprising a phase component signal; determining phase shift and phase variance based on a complex baseband signal; and performing spectral down-conversion of the ultrasound echo signal based on phase shift and phase variance. And filtering the complex baseband signal by a dynamic filter to adaptively compensate for the shift.
According to the present disclosure, the phase shift and phase dispersion can be determined (predicted) based on the ultrasonic echo signal of the object, and the spectral downshift of the ultrasonic echo signal can be adaptively compensated based on the determined phase shift and phase dispersion . Therefore, the image quality of the ultrasound image can be prevented from varying according to the attenuation coefficient of the medium in the target body.
