Enhanced Ultrasound Data Processing in an Ultrasound System
First Claim
1. An ultrasound system, comprising:
- a storage unit for storing a mapping table having linear operation information associated with a plurality of diagnostic modes;
an input unit for allowing a user to input an instruction to select at least one of the diagnostic modes;
an ultrasound data acquisition unit configured to transmit/receive ultrasound signals to/from a target object according to the selected diagnostic mode to thereby acquire ultrasound data; and
a processing unit configured to form an ultrasound data matrix based on the ultrasound data and retrieve the linear operation information associated with the selected diagnostic mode from the mapping table to form linear operation matrices, the processing unit being further configured to perform a linear operation upon the ultrasound data matrix and the linear operation matrices and perform at least one non-linear operation upon the ultrasound data.

Abstract
Embodiments for ultrasound data processing in an ultrasound system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a mapping table, in which linear operation information is associated with a plurality of diagnostic modes, is stored in a storage unit. If there is an instruction to select at least one of the diagnostic modes, then an ultrasound data acquisition unit transmits/receives ultrasound signals to/from a target object to thereby acquire ultrasound data according to the selected diagnostic mode. A processing unit forms an ultrasound data matrix based on the ultrasound data and retrieves the linear operation information associated with the selected diagnostic mode from the mapping table to form linear operation matrices. Further, the processing unit performs a matrix operation of the ultrasound data matrix and the linear operation matrices.
