Abstract:
PURPOSE: A multi-array type ultrasonic probe device and a manufacturing method of the multi-array type ultrasonic probe device obtain accurate ultrasonic data by controlling the transceiving direction of an ultrasonic beam. CONSTITUTION: A tile (101) transmits an ultrasonic beam to and receives it from an object. A mounting part (105) mounts each tile. The mounting part arranges the tiles in a multi-array form. An adhesive part (107) positions adhesive materials on the lower part of the mounting part. The adhesive materials attach the tiles on a substrate.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A sampling method, an apparatus performing the same, a probe, a receiving beam forming apparatus, and a medical imaging system are provided to generate a diagnostic image about a subject by sampling an echo signal reflected from the subject, thereby effectively taking samples while reducing hardware complexity. CONSTITUTION: A sampling method includes a step of receiving an echo signal reflected from a subject(601), a step of sampling a received echo signal using sampling frequency for extracting I(In-phase) component data and Q(Quadrature) component data(602), and a step of crossly arranging and storing the I and Q component data extracted according to a sampling result(603). [Reference numerals] (601) Receive an echo signal; (602) Sample the echo signal; (603) Crossly arrange and store I and Q component data; (AA) Start; (BB) End
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A beam forming method, an apparatus for performing the same and a medical image system are provided to form a plurality of 2D transducer-arrays by using the 2D transducer-array capable of multichannel expansion. CONSTITUTION: An interposer(120) respectively connects a plurality of 2D transducer-arrays(110). A controller(130) generates a control signal. The control signal implements delay time for each transducer. A plurality of drivers(140) respectively drives the plurality of 2D transducer-arrays. The plurality of drivers is arranged on the lower part of the corresponded 2D transducer-array. [Reference numerals] (130) Controller
