ULTRASOUND IMAGE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING ITS ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES

Abstract

A method for correcting the acoustic properties of an ultrasound imaging device is disclosed, comprising a main body with a transmission channel designed to generate a transmission signal based on a synchronization signal, and a probe with a plurality of elements designed to generate an ultrasound signal based on the transmission signal, including obtaining a pre-correction parameter via the probe based on the connection between the main body and the probe, determining a transmission parameter based on at least one object or diagnostic object, correcting at least one preset transmission delay time or a preset transmission intensity corresponding to the transmission parameter based on the pre-correction parameter, and controlling the transmission channel.to generate a transmission signal based on at least one of the corrected transmission delay time or the corrected transmission intensity, and to generate and output an ultrasonic signal in the element connected to the transmission channel based on the generated transmission signal.
