Abstract
The dynamic range of ultrasound images is extended by providing compensation of errors inherent in the manufacturing process of medical ultrasound phased array probes. Time delay errors are predetermined and stored in a memory associated with each probe. A system then reads the values needed to perform error compensation directly from the particular probe being used.
