Abstract
A method of generating an ultrasound image in an ultrasound apparatus connected with at least one wired probe and at least one wireless probe is provided. A wired response signal corresponding to a first ultrasound response signal reflected from an object is received from the at least one wired probe, and a wireless response signal corresponding to a second ultrasound response signal reflected from the object is received from the at least one wireless probe. An ultrasound image of the object is generated by using the wired and wireless response signals.
Claims22
A method of generating an ultrasound image in an ultrasound apparatus connected with at least one wired probe and at least one wireless probe, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the at least one wired probe, a wired response signal corresponding to a first ultrasound response signal reflected from an object;
- receiving, from the at least one wireless probe, a wireless response signal corresponding to a second ultrasound response signal reflected from the object;
- and
- generating an ultrasound image of the object based on the wired response signal and the wireless response signals.
A method of generating an ultrasound image, the method comprising:
- receiving from at least one wireless probe a wireless response signal corresponding to an ultrasound response signal reflected from an object;
- generating first wireless ultrasound data based on a first part of the wireless response signal;
- receiving from an external device second wireless ultrasound data generated based on a second part of the wireless response signal;
- and
- generating a wireless ultrasound image of the object by combining the first wireless ultrasound data and the second wireless ultrasound data.
An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
- at least one wired probe configured to obtain a wired response signal corresponding to a first ultrasound response signal reflected from an object;
- at least one wireless probe configured to obtain a wireless response signal corresponding to a second ultrasound response signal reflected from the object;
- and
- an image processor configured to generate an ultrasound image of the object based on the wired response signal and the wireless response signal received from the at least one wired probe and the at least one wireless probe.
