Embodiment Construction

[0057] figure 1 An ultrasound system 10 according to the present disclosure and adapted to sense a region of interest ROI inside a medium 11 is shown. The ultrasound system may construct an image of at least a portion of the region of interest, as will be set forth in the description below.

[0058]The medium 11 is eg a living body and specifically a human or animal body, or it may be any other biological or physicochemical medium (eg an in vitro medium). The volume of a medium includes changes in its physical properties. For example, media may include tissue and blood vessels, each of which has various physical properties. For example, a tissue may include an area suffering from a disease (eg, cancer cells), or any other single area having various physical properties compared to other areas of the medium. Portions of the medium 11 may contain some added contrast agent (eg, fine air bubbles) for improving the contrast of the physical properties of these portions.

Abstract

An ultrasound system (10) comprises a probe (12) adapted for emitting and receiving ultrasound waves inside a medium, and a processing unit (13) connected to the probe and adapted for processing signals from the probe. The probe (12) is configured so as to behave as a Fresnel lens for focusing the ultrasound waves. The processing unit (13) analyses signals from the probe for sensing the medium at a plurality of focal points.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasound system for sensing media. Background technique [0002] More precisely, the present invention relates to an ultrasound system comprising: [0003] - a probe adapted to be placed in contact with a medium and comprising at least one transducer adapted to emit and receive ultrasonic waves in said medium, and [0004] - a processing unit associated to the probe and adapted to process signals from the probe. [0005] It is known to use this ultrasound imaging system to generate images. [0006] However, this system needs to have probes with many transducers, eg, more than 100 transducers, and needs to deal with complex beamforming during emission and / or reception of ultrasound. The beamforming process involves at least applying an amplification factor and delay to each signal to and from each transducer independently to focus ultrasonic energy to various points within the medium. Thus, this system includes ...
