Abstract
An ultrasound system and method for forming ultrasound data corresponding to a receive scan line independent of a synthetic aperture. The ultrasound system includes the ultrasound data forming unit configured to: form scan line data corresponding to each of the receive scan lines by using data provided from the receive channels; form accumulated data by accumulating the scan line data corresponding to the receive scan lines of the same position; set a storing start position for storing the accumulated data based on the transmit synthesizing number; and store the accumulated data by shifting the storing start position by 1, thereby forming ultrasound data corresponding to each of the receive scan linen lines.
Claims15
An ultrasound system of forming ultrasound data, comprising:
- an ultrasound data forming unit having a plurality of receive channels as input and being configured to
- form scan line data corresponding to each of a plurality of receive scan lines based on data provided from the receive channels;
- accumulate the scan line data corresponding to the receive scan lines of a same position to form accumulated data;
- set a storing start position for storing the accumulated data based on a transmit synthesis number;
- store the accumulated data by shifting the storing start position by one;
- and
- form ultrasound data corresponding to each of the receive scan lines based on the accumulated data.
A method of forming ultrasound data, comprising:
- (a) forming scan line data corresponding to each of a plurality of receive scan lines based on data provided from a plurality of receive channels;
- (b) accumulating the scan line data corresponding to the receive scan lines of a same position to form accumulated data
- (c) setting a storing start position for storing the accumulated data in storage areas of a storage unit based on a transmit synthesis number:
- (d) storing the accumulated data by shifting the storing start position by one;
- and
- (e) forming ultrasound data corresponding to each of the receive scan lines based on the accumulated data.
