OBJECT INFORMATION ACQUIRING APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention employs an acoustic imaging apparatus comprising a probe (004) including a plurality of conversion elements (005) which receive acoustic waves emitted from an object and convert the acoustic waves into received signals, a delay unit (009) which matches phases of the plurality of received signals output from the plurality of conversion elements (005), a signal adder (011) which adds the plurality of received signals output from the delay unit (009), for each group to obtain latter input signals, and an adaptive signal processor (006) which generates internal image data of the object by performing adaptive signal processing on the plurality of latter input signals output from a plurality of the signal adders (011).
