ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound system comprising a transducer array and means for energizing each element, or batches of elements, of the array in turn to generate an ultra sound pulse, means for processing an echo pulse received by each transducer, and control means for controlling the order in which a transducer or transducers are energized and the order in which a transducer or transducers receive an echo pulse, characterized in that the echoes resulting from the transmission of an ultrasonic pulse from any one transducer element are received by at least one other transducer element.
