Problems solved by technology

Also, using more than one probe adds an additional disinfection step to the surgical procedure
These steps waste time that is precious in the emergency room
In addition, especially in some occasions such as emergency rooms, surgical operating rooms, and ambulances, it is not appropriate to use more cables and components

Embodiment Construction

[0021] The present invention will be described in further detail below through specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0022] For the usual linear array probe, such as Figure 1a , 1b , 1c are shown separately, it can be seen from it that different linear array probes can have different directivity in design according to needs, that is, the deflection angle of other beams relative to the center beam of the linear array probe. Figure 1a , 1c The linear array probe shown is an ideal linear array probe with zero deflection angle, Figure 1b The linear array probe shown has a certain deflection angle. In practical applications, in order to ensure the linear scanning effect of the linear array probe, the deflection angle is usually as small as possible, generally controlled within 25 degrees. If such a linear array probe is used for sector scanning, the effect will be very poor. In order to enable the linear array probe to achieve proper sector scanning...

Abstract

The invention provides a multifunctional ultrasonic imaging system. Two fields of an ultrasonic image are provided to a linear array probe or a protruding array probe by providing an additional sector scan or an additional expanded sector scan to the linear array probe or the protruding array probe. By using the system of the invention, the emergency events can be treated in the emergency room as soon as possible, such as decreasing the times of exchanging probes when doctor scans the belly and the heart. Compared with the prior art of scanning two parts, such as belly and heart, by using one linear array probe or protruding array probe, the system of the invention can provide an image with higher quality.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system, in particular to a multifunctional scanning technology in a medical ultrasound imaging system. Background technique [0002] Traditional ultrasound scanners can support several types of probes, for example, convex array probes, micro convex array probes, linear array probes, and sector scan probes. Each type of probe can be used for specific clinical applications. Generally, convex array probes are preferably used for abdominal scanning, linear array probes are preferably used for scanning superficial organs (such as breast, thyroid, etc.), and fan scan probes are preferably used for scanning small acoustic windows (such as heart). In ultrasound scanners, in addition to some specific purpose scanners, most scanners can cover a wide range of applications by using different probes, but this requires the operator to change the probe during the operation to scan different parts of the body . For ...
