Title:
ULTRASONIC IMAGING DEVICE, CONTROL DEVICE FOR ULTRASONIC IMAGING DEVICE, AND ULTRASONIC IMAGE FORMING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017086156
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for an ultrasonic imaging device capable of maintaining excellent image quality while speeding up synthetic processing based on an adaptive weight.SOLUTION: A signal synthesis unit 61 aperture-synthesizes an output signal from a conversion element group in an array arrangement for converting an ultrasonic wave to an electric signal for each transmission of the ultrasonic wave, and outputs a first image signal in sequence. A signal addition unit 62 adds the first image signals output from the signal synthesis unit 61 by group, and outputs a second image signal. An adaptive signal processing unit 63 calculates an adaptive weight based on the second image signal, and synthesizes the second image signals.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
