Abstract
【解決手段】プローブ(102)と、該プローブに接続された超音波画像処理装置(108)とを有する超音波画像化装置(100)であって、前記超音波画像処理装置は対象物(106)の動きの変化速度の示度(104)を受信する形式の超音波画像化装置において、
前記利得は、対象物(106)の動きの変化速度に相応して少なくとも部分的に調整され、出力装置(112)が前記超音波画像処理装置(108)に接続されている、ことを特徴とする超音波画像化装置。
【選択図】図1
Description
図2は、図1の実施例の詳細を示す。図2を参照すると、利得コントロールブロック110は利得を調整するための種々の要素を有する。これにより超音波画像113の品質を、対象物106の動きの変化速度に基づいて調整する。図2に示すように、利得コントロールブロック110はプロセッサ202およびフィルタ204を有する。さらに1つの実施例では、利得は自動的に調整される。すなわち動きの比較的大きな変化のようなトリガイベントによりプロセッサは相応に利得を調整する。
