Ultrasonic imaging method and ultrasonic imaging apparatus

摘要

Ultrasonic imaging method and apparatus improved to provide image data at a high frame rate and achieve a better resolution. The ultrasonic imaging apparatus includes a transmission side signal processing unit for providing drive signals; an ultrasonic probe for transmitting ultrasonic beams and detecting echoes of the transmitted ultrasonic beams to obtain detection signals; a reception side signal processing unit for amplifying the detection signals and obtaining image data on the measurement target; and a control unit for controlling the transmission side signal processing unit to transmit ultrasonic beams simultaneously in a plurality of directions and controlling the reception side signal processing unit to process the detection signals and form a plurality of receiving focal points with respect to each of the transmitted ultrasonic beams.
