ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for transmission and reception of ultrasonic beams using an array of ultrasonic transducer elements in which a plurality of transducer element sets each including the selected number of transducer elements for the transmission and/or reception of ultrasonic beams are sequentially selected. First and second sets having different focal axes defined relative to the plane of the transducer array are selected for the transmission and reception modes of operation respectively during the production of a single scan line. The position of at least one of the transducer elements in the first set is different from those of the transducer elements in the second set.
