Ultrasound system and signal processing unit configured for time gain and lateral gain compensation

摘要

The present invention provides an ultrasound system, which comprises: a signal acquiring unit to transmit an ultrasound signal to an object and acquire an echo signal reflected from the object; a signal processing unit to control TGC (Time Gain Compensation) and LGC (Lateral Gain Compensation) of the echo signal; a TGC/LGC setup unit adapted to set TGC and LGC values based on TGC and LGC curves inputted by a user; and an image producing unit adapted to produce an ultrasound image of the object based on the echo signal. The signal processing unit is further adapted to control the TGC and the LGC of the echo signal based on the TGC and LGC values set by the TGC/LGC setup unit.

主权项

1. An ultrasound system, comprising:
a probe configured for transmitting an ultrasound signal to an object and receiving echo signals reflected from the object; a touch panel configured for receiving a single time gain compensation (TGC) curve touch input for setting TGC values, the single TGC curve touch input intersecting with multiple lines corresponding to different depths on the touch panel; and a processor configured for adjusting TGC setting based on the intersection of the single TGC curve touch input with the multiple lines.
