The present invention relates to a digital beamformer in ultrasound imaging after the process of receiving a digital echo signal. Provided herein is a time multiplexed device and method for beamforming. The device includes an echo data write/read unit, a multi-beam processing unit, a channel data summing unit, and a parameter distributing and synchronizing unit for distributing and synchronizing respective receive parameters to the echo data write/read unit and the multi-beam processing unit through a parameter load bus for each of the beams in the channel.

Time multiplexed method and device for beamforming

An ultrasonic instrument includes a socket and a front-end system, wherein the socket is provided with at least two probe model identification pins and a plurality of functional signal pins. The front-end system comprises a decoding module, a switch selection module, and a probe driving control module. The decoding module has its input terminals electrically connected to the probe model identification pins of the socket, and has its output terminal coupled to the control terminal of the switch selection module. The input terminals of the switch selection module are electrically connected to the functional signal pins of the socket respectively, and in response to a probe identification signal outputted from the decoding module to the control terminal, the switch selection module establishes connection between its input terminals and a group of output terminals corresponding to the probe identification signal. The probe driving control module is electrically connected to the output terminals of the switch selection module.

Ultrasonic instrument and method for controlling its multiple probes

An ultrasonic imaging device, comprising: a receiver, for receiving ultrasonic signals which carry information about human body; a processor, for analyzing and processing the received ultrasonic signals in order to get image and/or sound signals; a controller, for issuing at least one instruction; and a recorder, for recording the image and/or sound signals on recording medium in digital form in accordance with the instruction.
