Patent number: 10736610Abstract: Various types of sub-preset conditions corresponding to a selected mother preset condition are read out from a preset condition storage unit which stores at least a plurality of mother preset conditions set concerning image data acquisition conditions and various types of sub-preset conditions set by updating all or some of the image data acquisition conditions included in each of the mother preset conditions. A sub-preset condition suitable for ultrasonic examination on the object is selected from the readout various types of sub-preset conditions. An image data acquisition condition is initialized based on the selected mother preset condition with respect to each unit related to generation of the image data. The image data acquisition condition is updated by using the selected sub-preset condition. Image data is generated based on a reception signal in ultrasonic transmission/reception using the updated image data acquisition condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Canon Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Masami Takahashi, Masamichi Oyanagi

Patent number: 6508766Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes an ultrasound probe and a beam-former configured to scan an object to be examined with ultrasound waves through the ultrasound probe. A B-mode processor generates B-mode image data on the basis of a reception signal output from the beam-former. A power Doppler processor generates power Doppler data on the basis of the reception signal output from the beam-former. The power Doppler data is generated on the basis of the reception signal acquired under transmission conditions that the burst wave number is equal or substantially equal to that for the B-mode data, and the ensemble size is set to one of 2 to 10. The B-mode image data and power Doppler data are partly synthesized.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2001Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Takeshi Sato, Masamichi Oyanagi, Yoshitaka Mine
