Abstract
An ultrasonic imaging method includes emitting ultrasonic pulses in different directions and acquiring ultrasonic echo signals from an object, calculating an attenuation rate of the ultrasonic echo signals, correcting the acquired ultrasonic echo signals based on the attenuation rate, and outputting the corrected ultrasonic echo signals as an ultrasonic image.
Claims18
An ultrasonic imaging method comprising:
- emitting ultrasonic pulses in different directions and acquiring ultrasonic echo signals reflected from an object;
- calculating an attenuation rate of the ultrasonic echo signals;
- correcting the acquired ultrasonic echo signals based on the attenuation rate;
- and
- outputting the corrected ultrasonic echo signals as an ultrasonic image.
