  • Patent number: 9011335
    Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a probe including a transducer which transmits an ultrasound signal to a target, receives the ultrasound signal reflected from the target, and transduces the received ultrasound signal into an analog signal; an A/D converter which converts the analog signal output by the probe into a digital signal; a compression unit which compresses the digital signal output from the A/D converter; and a host computer which decompresses the digital signal compressed by the compression unit and performs beamforming.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 1, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2015
    Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

  • Patent number: 8568321
    Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that performs an image signal generating operation with respect to an ultrasound signal transmitted to and reflected from a target through a host computer and a control method thereof are provided. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a probe including at least one transducer to transmit an ultrasound signal to a target, to receive the ultrasound signal reflected from the target, and to transduce the received ultrasound signal into an analog signal, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter to convert the analog signal output from the probe into a digital signal, a compression unit to compress the digital signal output from the A/D converter, and a host computer to decompress the digital signal compressed by the compression unit and to perform beamforming.
