Abstract
A real-time ultrasonic imaging system includes a display which is compensated for the non-ideal characteristics of the search beam profile. Echo responsive electrical signals are provided to a preprogrammed computing means for being processed to compensate for the characteristics of the test probe. The processed signals are displayed as being in focus at all distances from the probe, thereby resulting in an image exhibiting improved resolution.
