<p>The internal examination of a human organ (3) is made by means of an ultrasonic probe (2) inserted into the organ (3), analogue echo signals from the probe being converted to digital signals (8) which are then stored in a digital computer (10) where they are manipulated to produce a two-dimensional real-time representation of the interior of the organ for display on a terminal (12) or as hard copy (13). The two-dimensional real-time image may be displayed simultaneously with a three-dimensional non-real-time image produced by the system of copending application PCT/GB88/00971.</p> |
