    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer driving circuit configured to supply an output current and/or an output voltage to an output line for driving an ultrasonic transducer is provided. The ultrasonic transducer driving circuit includes a first current discharge circuit configured to allow a current arising from electric charges accumulated in the ultrasonic transducer to flow from the output line to ground when the output line is at a positive voltage, and a second current discharge circuit configured to allow the current arising from the electric charges accumulated in the ultrasonic transducer to flow from ground to the output line when the output line is at a negative voltage. The first current discharge circuit and the second current discharge circuit are controlled based on the output current and/or the output voltage.

    Abstract: An ultrasound probe (106) having a set of functions is coupled to a portable ultrasound imaging device (100). A volume of interest is scanned e.g. in three-dimensions, using an ultrasound-imaging device coupled to a resource extension device (302) at a transmit power level capability to get ultrasound image data. The image data is processed using an ultrasound-imaging device processor and a resource extension device processor. An independent claim is also included for an ultrasound-imaging system configured to operate in a resource extended mode and a portable mode.
