摘要: The present invention is a multiline beamformer for use in medical ultrasound scanner using phased array transducer. Lines of energy are generated having pressure at the aperture corresponding to sin (πx)/πx, where x normalized distance element measured from center array. This transmitted creates flat field space which can then be received multiple receive lines, bundled, parallel time delays.
