Device for the ultrasonic investigation and representation of an object

Abstract

Abstract 1. Method for the ultrasonic investigation and representation of an object on an image display device (11), in which by means of an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver system (80, 130) and a displaceable scanning mirror (70) the object is scanned in a pulsed manner in a section plane by an ultrasonic beam, the ultrasonic pulses corresponding to a section plane, which form approximately equidistant rays in the object, being triggered at a timing different from the line scan timing of the image display device (11), caracterised in that the echo signals received per section plane are read line-wise into a storage system (200), and read out from the storage system (200) with a line frequency suited to the line scan frequency of the image display device (11) and are used for brightness control of the image points of the image display device (11).
