Method and apparatus for automatic optimization of scanning parameters for ultrasound imaging

An ultrasonic probe has transducer elements for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals to form an ultrasound image. An optimization module receives a first scanning depth based on the ultrasound image and determines a first transmit pattern and receive filter settings based on the first scann...

Zusammenfassung:An ultrasonic probe has transducer elements for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals to form an ultrasound image. An optimization module receives a first scanning depth based on the ultrasound image and determines a first transmit pattern and receive filter settings based on the first scanning depth. The first transmit pattern and the receive filter settings are used to acquire the ultrasound image. Transmit and receive circuitry transmit and receive the ultrasound signals based on the first transmit pattern
