ULTRASONIC WAVE DIAGNOSING SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide an ultrasonic wave diagnosing system which can collect three-dimensional data at a high speed in the system constitution for mechanically moving an array probe. CONSTITUTION:This ultrasonic wave diagnosing system is equipped with a transmission/receiver 2 which transmits the relatively spread transmission beam from an array probe 1 and receives a plurality of reception beams at the same time through the array probe 1, means (combination of a reversible swing motor 3 and a probe shift controller 4) for mechanically moving the array probe 1 in the slice direction, and a scan controller 5 for allowing the array probe 1 to carry out the second direction scan through the control for synchronously operating the transmission/receiving device 2 and the probe shift controller 4. Further, a means (phase arrangement addition calculation circuits 61-6n) for collecting three-dimensional data by the repetition of taking in a plurality of simultaneous received echo signals in parallel supplied from the transmission/ receiver 2 under the control by the scan controller 5 is provided.
