Abstract

Ultrasound imaging apparatus having an array of electro-acoustic transducer rings, means for exciting said transducer rings in sequence so as to cause them to transmit successive pulses of pressure waves along a path at intervals at least equal to the time of transit of the pressure waves to a maximum range and back to the array, dynamically controlled delays respectively coupled to each transducer ring that bring the electrical signals the transducers supply in response to pressure of waves of each pulse that are reflected along a given range into reasonable phase coherence, processing means coupled to the delays so as to provide a composite signal, and a summing memory coupled to receive the composite signal.
