Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the case of an ultrasonic probe that obtains ultrasonic images of internal tissues from outside the body, the obtained ultrasonic images may be affected by tissues (bones, lungs, etc.) that exist between the body surface and the desired inspection site.

no. 1 approach

[0040] First, refer to figure 1 The outline of the overall configuration of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. figure 1 It is an external view showing a schematic configuration of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 100 of the first embodiment, from the biological information measurement unit 120 (see Figure 5 ) receives an analysis result corresponding to the setting of biological information (cardiographic waveform, etc.), and performs intermittent imaging.

[0041] Such as figure 1 As shown, the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 100 of this embodiment has a main body 101 , a distal end 10 , and the like. The front end portion 10 and the main body portion 101 are connected via a cable 11 . exist figure 1 In the example shown in FIG. 1 , a connector 11 a formed at the end of the cable 11 is connected to the main body 10...

[0151] Next, Modification 2 of the first embodiment will be described. In the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 100 of the first embodiment described above, the timing of intermittent imaging is measured based on a specific electrocardiographic waveform or abnormality of the waveform. However, the first embodiment is not limited to such a structure. For example, monitoring of the ultrasound examination may be started, and monitoring of the subject's respiration by the respiration monitor may be executed in parallel. The respiration monitor captures movement caused by the subject's respiration, and outputs the respiration monitor signal. The respiratory monitor is, for example, a belt-shaped pressure sensor that can be attached so as to surround the abdomen of the subject. In addition, as another example, there is an air flow sensor that measures the flow rate of the subject's breathing. Alternatively, it may be a device that captures an image of the observed part of the subje...

Deformed example 3

[0156] Next, Modification 3 of the first embodiment will be described. In this modified example, as described above, most of the functions of the transmitting unit 141 and the receiving unit 142 in the front end unit 10 are performed by the receiving unit of the transmitting and receiving unit 105 of the main body unit 101 . Thereby, the internal structure of the accommodating part 10a can be simplified in some cases. The functions of the transceiver unit 105 are, for example, as described below.

[0157] (transmitter - modified example 3)

[0158] The transmitting unit of the transmitting and receiving unit 105 of the main body unit 101 includes a clock generation circuit controlled by the main control unit 104 , a transmission delay circuit, a pulse circuit (not shown), and the like. The clock generation circuit is a circuit for determining the transmission timing and transmission frequency of ultrasonic waves as a clock signal. For example, the clock circuit provides a r...

Abstract

Ultrasonic diagnostic devices can observe the state of tissues in the body for a predetermined period of time. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic transmission and reception unit and a control unit. The ultrasonic transceiver unit obtains biological information of a predetermined part of the subject by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves while being inserted into the subject. The control unit causes the ultrasonic transmission and reception unit to transmit ultrasonic waves based on the trigger signal set according to the state of the periodically operating predetermined part, or the trigger signal obtained according to the state.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. Background technique [0002] A medical imaging diagnostic apparatus is an apparatus that converts tissue information in a subject into medical images (tomographic images, blood flow images, etc.) without surgically removing the tissue for inspection and diagnosis. Examples of medical image diagnostic devices include X-ray diagnostic devices, X-ray CT (Computed Tomography) devices, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) devices, ultrasonic diagnostic devices, and the like. [0003] In one example, the medical image is stored in a medical image archiving system (for example, PACS; Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) in a medical institution after the subject is photographed. After that, the medical image is read out from the image storage system by the radiologist or the like to perform the radiographic interpretation. In another example, the medical image is imaged ...
