Abstract

An ultrasonic imaging device, comprising: a receiver, for receiving ultrasonic signals which carry information about human body; a processor, for analyzing and processing the received ultrasonic signals in order to get image and/or sound signals; a controller, for issuing at least one instruction; and a recorder, for recording the image and/or sound signals on recording medium in digital form in accordance with the instruction.

Claims (28)

1. An ultrasonic imaging device, comprising:

a receiver for receiving ultrasonic signals carrying information about a human body;

a processor for analyzing and processing the received ultrasonic signals in order to obtain image and/or sound signals;

an encoding compressor for encoding and compressing the image and/or sound signals, and

a recorder for recording the encoded and compressed image and/or sound signals on a recording medium in digital form, wherein the recorder is integrated within the ultrasonic imaging device.

2. The ultrasonic imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a decoding decompressor for decoding and decompressing the digital signals in the recording medium; and

an imaging device for transforming a scan format of the decoded and decompressed signals for display on a display device.

3. The ultrasonic imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises:

an M mode and/or B mode ultrasonic signals processing unit for rendering the signals using brightness modulation.

4. The ultrasonic imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises:

a Doppler signal processing unit for rendering the signals by use of Doppler frequency-shifting effects.

5. The ultrasonic imaging device according to claim 4 , wherein the Doppler signal processing unit comprises:

a pulse wave and/or continuous wave Doppler signal processing unit.

6. The ultrasonic imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sound output device for outputting the decoded and decompressed signals as audible sound signals.

7. The ultrasonic imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sound input device for transferring the received sound signals to the encoding compressor.

8. The ultrasonic imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the recorder comprises a DVD recorder.

9. An information processing method for an ultrasonic imaging device, comprising:

receiving ultrasonic signals which carry information about human body at an ultrasonic imaging device;

analyzing and processing the received signals in order to obtain image and/or sound signals;

encoding and compressing the image and/or sound signals; and

recording the encoded and compressed image and/or sound signals onto a recording medium in digital form at the ultrasonic imaging device.

10. The information processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

decoding and decompressing the digital signals in the recording medium; and transforming a scan format of the decoded and decompressed signals for display on a display device.

11. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the received signals are at least one of M mode ultrasonic signals, B mode ultrasonic signals, C mode ultrasonic signals, CM mode ultrasonic signals, and Doppler ultrasonic signals.

12. The information processing method of claim 9 , wherein the recording medium comprises a DVD.
