Abstract
In an ultrasonic diagnosing apparatus, a total amount of ultrasonic waves which irradiate an object to be inspected for a constant time period can be decreased, while image qualities of ultrasonic images are not deteriorated. The ultrasonic diagnosing apparatus includes an ultrasonic transmitting/receiving unit for transmitting ultrasonic waves in accordance with an applied voltage and receiving ultrasonic echoes reflected from an object to be inspected; an input unit for inputting information related to an irradiation amount of ultrasonic waves; and an irradiation amount control unit for adjusting a frame rate on the basis of the irradiation amount information input via the input unit so as to control an irradiation amount of ultrasonic waves which irradiate the object.
Claims14
An ultrasonic diagnosing apparatus comprising:
- ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means for transmitting ultrasonic waves in accordance with an applied voltage and receiving ultrasonic echoes reflected from an object to be inspected;
- input means for inputting information related to an irradiation amount of ultrasonic waves;
- and
- irradiation amount control means for adjusting a frame rate on the basis of the irradiation amount information input via said input means so as to control an irradiation amount of ultrasonic waves which irradiate the object.
An ultrasonic diagnosing apparatus comprising:
- ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means for transmitting ultrasonic waves in accordance with an applied voltage and receiving ultrasonic echoes reflected from an object to be inspected;
- accumulating means for accumulating an irradiation amount of ultrasonic waves transmitted from said ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means to obtain an accumulated value;
- and
- irradiation amount control means for adjusting a frame rate on the basis of a relationship between the accumulated value obtained by said accumulating means and a preset value so as to control an irradiation amount of ultrasonic waves which irradiate the object.
