However, the received harmonic signal is usually not as strong as the received signal at the first carrier frequency
Therefore, using harmonic mode may degrade SNR performance

Embodiment Construction

[0013] Reference in this specification to "one embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the claimed subject matter. Thus, references to "in one embodiment" or "an embodiment" in various places in this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures or characteristics may be combined in one or more embodiments.

[0014] The "ultrasound images" referred to in this specification relate to the representation of "objects" contained within the body of tissue acquired using ultrasound imaging techniques. Ultrasound images may be represented as viewable images on a display or printed media for medical diagnosis. Ultrasound images can also be represented as a combination of "pixel values" that represent image intensities in a number of "pixel locations" on the image. But these are just some examples o...

Abstract

Disclosed are a system and method of selecting one or more operational parameters of an ultrasonic imaging system(10). In particular, methods and means are disclosed for automatically or semi-automatically determining a best operating frequency, or for determining whether a system should operate in a fundamental imaging mode or a harmonic imaging mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed in this specification relates to ultrasound imaging systems. Background technique [0002] "Imaging" refers to the process of acquiring visual features of one or more objects of interest. "Ultrasound imaging" refers to an imaging procedure that includes the processing of ultrasound signals. Medical professionals who use ultrasound imaging typically rely on clear images with sufficient resolution for proper diagnosis. Ultrasound images are formed by passing ultrasound waves through tissue and processing the reflected and / or transmitted portions obtained from objects of interest. Although sending waveforms at a higher frequency can improve image resolution, higher frequency waveforms generally add noise to the system, reducing image clarity. System noise also increases when the imaging target is at a deep location in the tissue (eg, the distance between the surface of the organoid and the object of interest in the organoid...
