ABSTRACT:
To reduce the power consumption of the ultrasonic probe, the number of transducers to be driven at any given time is controlled. More specifically, all transducers are driven, whereby the probe transmits the ultrasonic beams to a subject through an acoustic lens provided in front of the probe. When an echo signal reflected from an interior portion of the subject and a multi-echo signal reflected from the acoustic lens are detected, the transducers whose operation is required to obtain a tomographic image of the subject are driven. When only the multi-echo signal is detected, fewer transducers are driven.
