  • Method for optimization of transmit and receive ultrasound pulses, particularly for ultrasonic imaging
    Patent number: 7297117
    Abstract: A method for optimizing transmit and receive ultrasound imaging pulses generates transmit pulses from an array of transducers which are energized by excitation signals that are applied to each individual transducer of the array. Each of the excitation signals are individually weighted to optimize the transducers' contribution to a predetermined energy function. Such optimization may also be performed on the received pulses.
