ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising, a pulser, a transducer connected to the pulser, which is driven by drive pulses from the pulser to radiate ultrasound wave toward an object and to receive echoes returned from the object to convert the echoes into electrical signals, the thickness of the transducer changing in a direction orthogonal to the ultrasound beam traveling direction, a filter connected to the transducer for filtering the electrical echo signals from the transducer with the filter characteristic which is changed according to a change of the thickness of the transducer, signal processing circuit connected to the filter for processing the electrical echo signals passed through the filter to convert it into tomogram signal, and a monitor connected to the signal processing circuit for displaying a tomogram according to a tomogram signal from the signal processing circuit.
