ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING SYSTEM CONFIGURED BY PROBE FIRMWARE

摘要

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system (50) includes analog and/or digital components which are configurable by firmware data. An ultrasound probe (10) contains firmware data for configuring the programmable devices of an ultrasound system for operation with the probe. The firmware data is uploaded from the probe and used to configure the analog and/or digital components for operation with the probe at runtime.
