Abstract: A method and an apparatus for processing data for an ultrasound image reconstruction are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method and an apparatus for processing data for reconstructing an ultrasound image are provided, which are capable of storing first frame data generated by a focused ultrasound in a realtime display mode and a parameter for the first frame data, and when a specific event is detected as occurring, and additionally storing second frame data generated by an unfocused ultrasound and a parameter for the second frame data, thus expanding the scope of application of the data for an image reconstruction and acquiring various formats of improved ultrasound images.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for performing a beamforming by using unfocused ultrasounds are disclosed. Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for performing a beamforming, when processing an ultrasound image obtained by transmitting unfocused ultrasounds to a field-of-view and receiving reflection signals from the field-of-view, which include calculating transmission delay times taken by ultrasounds transmitted by transmit elements of a transducer to arrive at a receive focusing point, calculating reception delay times taken by reflection ultrasound signals reflected at the receive focusing point to arrive at receive elements of the transducer, and applying the calculations of the transmission delay times and the reception delay times to reception signals at the receive elements.
