Appl. No.:

6/566058

Inventors:

Eugene L. Flanagan - Manhasset NY

Assignee:

American Home Products Corporation (Del.) - New York NY

International Classification:

A61B 1000

US Classification:

128660

Abstract:

For medical examination purposes, an ultrasonic imaging device in which ultrasonic pulses are transmitted into a body of a patient and reflected therefrom. The reflected pulses are converted from ultrasonic to electrical signals by electro-acoustic elements which are then amplified by a time-gain-controlled device and converted for display on a CRT by a scan converter. Amplification of the time-gain-controlled device is controlled by an output voltage produced by a control voltage generator. The generator includes circuitry for automatically delaying the amplitude varying characteristics of the output voltage with time.
