A method and system for calibrating an ultrasonic wedge and a probe are disclosed. The calibration method includes the steps of automatically determining the ultrasonic signal acquisition width and the first ultrasonic signal gate based on the theoretical parameters of the ultrasonic wedge and the probe. The calibration method can also include the steps of automatically determining the operating status of transducer elements in a phased array transducer and then determining the actual parameters of the ultrasonic wedge based on the live transducer elements.

Method and system for calibrating an ultrasonic wedge and a probe

An ultrasonic probe includes ultrasonic transducers and processing electronics to control emission of ultrasonic energy and to process and digitize returned echo data. Processed echo data can then be transmitted over a digital interface for display.
