Abstract
A probe identification unit identifies a type of an ultrasound probe connected to a probe connector. The circuit control unit controls the reception circuit and changes at least a part of the circuit configuration of the reception circuit according to the type of the ultrasound probe identified by the probe identification unit. For example, the circuit control unit controls the AFE such that the AFE converts the analog reception signal into the digital reception signal at a sampling frequency corresponding to the type of the ultrasound probe. In addition, the circuit control unit changes a circuit configuration of a filter of the decimation block according to the type of the ultrasound probe.
Claims9
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- an ultrasound probe that transmits an ultrasound wave to a subject and receives a reflection of the ultrasound wave from the subject to output an analog reception signal;
- a reception circuit that processes the analog reception signal;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- identify a type of the ultrasound probe;
- control the reception circuit according to the type of the ultrasound probe;
- and
- change at least a part of a circuit configuration of the reception circuit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an ultrasound diagnostic program causing an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to execute:
- identifying a type of an ultrasound probe that is connected to the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, and that transmits an ultrasound wave to a subject and receives a reflection of the ultrasound wave from the subject to output an analog reception signal;
- and
- controlling a reception circuit that processes the analog reception signal according to the type of the ultrasound probe and changing at least a part of a circuit configuration of the reception circuit.
