Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ultrasonic imaging apparatus for processing ultrasonic raw data by a processor, includes a processor having a video processing front end, and a data input device for inputting the ultrasonic raw data to the video processing front end of the processor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A data input method for inputting ultrasonic raw data to a processor, said method comprising: forming, using a demodulator, vector data by packing the ultrasonic raw data in the demodulator for each period of repetition of ultrasonic transmission and reception; and inputting the vector data from the demodulator directly to a video processing front end of the processor, wherein the demodulator is coupled to the video processing front end through a video bus…
