  • Method and apparatus for adjusting the intensity profile of an ultrasound beam
    Patent number: 4937767
    Abstract: The intensity profile of an ultrasound beam in an ultrasound imaging system is adjusted by driving the individual piezoelectric crystals with drive signals having adjustable pulse durations. The duration of the drive pulse determines the frequency spectrum of the pulse and therefore determines the amplitude of the emitted ultrasound wave. The pulse durations may be selected such as to compose a desired profile of the ultrasound beam.
