Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an ultrasound diagnostic device with coherence factor correction. This device includes an ultrasound probe that transmits ultrasound toward a tested subject using multiple transducers to obtain a received signal. It features a beam forming section that adds the received signal for each transducer while matching the phase of the received signal. Additionally, it has an image processing section that generates image data, a coherent factor calculation section that calculates a coherent factor representing the ratio of a coherent sum to an incoherent sum, and a coherent factor correction section that ensures the coherent factor does not fall below a predetermined value. Furthermore, a signal correction section adjusts the received signal after addition by multiplying it with the corrected coherent factor.
Another notable patent is an ultrasound probe that includes a receiving section to capture ultrasound waves from an object and acquire a receiving signal across multiple channels. This probe also has a beam forming section to adjust the phase of the receiving signals and sum them, an image producing section to create image data for displaying ultrasound diagnostic images, a transmission target selecting section to choose from various receiving signals or image data, and a transmitting section to send
