Patent number: 8079956Abstract: In an ultrasonic imaging device having an image synthesizing unit, correlation between images to be synthesized is computed for balancing between an improvement in contrast resolution and an improvement in spatial resolution, and an amount of displacement between the images is computed. When the amount of displacement is large, the signals after envelop detection are synthesized. When the amount of displacement is small, RF signals are synthesized. Alternatively, the mixing frequency may be variable according to the amount of displacement, and the balance between an improvement in spatial resolution and that in contract resolution is achieved according to a degree of the positional displacement.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2009Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Hitachi Medical CorporationInventors: Takashi Azuma, Shin-ichiro Umemura, Hirotaka Baba
