摘要： Methods and systems for monitoring a transducer array in an ultrasound probe are provided. One method includes acquiring ultrasound data using an ultrasound probe during an imaging mode of operation, wherein the ultrasound data includes echo information. The method further includes comparing the echo information from a plurality of transducer elements of a transducer array of the ultrasound probe during the imaging mode of operation, wherein the echo information is non-beamformed signal data. The method also includes determining non-uniformity information for the transducer array using the compared echo information during the imaging mode of operation.

摘要： An ultrasound beamforming probe includes an array of transducer elements and a processing board that carries a signal processor. Receive signal connections, for a receive aperture formed from multiple transducer elements, are coupled to the first signal processor. A location memory is connected to the signal processor and holds a spatial location for the receive aperture. The signal processor retrieves the spatial location, determines a beamforming phase shift derived from the spatial location for each transducer element in the receive aperture, and applies the respective phase shift to each receive signal.

摘要： A method and apparatus for generating ultrasound pulses comprises producing a multi-level pulse sequence including a series of pulses. The series of pulses includes at least three pulses having three different amplitudes, respectively. The amplitudes are at least one of a positive non-zero voltage, a negative non-zero voltage, and an intermediate level voltage. The multi-level pulse sequence may be produced by a switch network having at least three different input voltage levels. The switch network outputs the multi-level pulse sequence at an output node to a transducer within a probe. Echo signals based on the series of pulses are received, and an ultrasound image is produced based on the received echo signals.
