ULTRASOUND PROBE DIAGNOSING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING ULTRASOUND PROBE

摘要

An ultrasound probe diagnosing apparatus for diagnosing an ultrasound probe having a probe head comprising a plurality of transducer elements is disclosed. The ultrasound probe diagnosing apparatus includes a reflective interface configured to reflect ultrasonic signals transmitted from a transducer element of the plurality of transducer elements. The reflected ultrasonic signals are received by at least one transducer element present in the probe head. A probe diagnosis unit is communicably coupled to the plurality of transducer elements. The probe diagnosis unit is configured to analyze at least one signal parameter associated with the reflected ultrasonic signals received for diagnosing performance of the transducer element.
