Verfahren und Anordnung zum Abbilden eines Objekts mit Ultraschall mit optischer Signalübertragung

摘要

In the ultrasonic imaging method, the reception signals of a pulse echo driven ultrasound array are transmitted to a signal processor via optical waveguides. The signal processor uses the reception signal to form an image of the object under investigation. The reception signals are analog or digital optical signals. The optical transmission is carried out using a time or frequency multiplex method. Light in the IR spectrum is used for signal transmission. An additional transmission device is connected to the transmission pulse generator via an optical waveguide for transmission of the transmission time point.
