Abstract

In this paper, we considered newly the use of wavelet transform in order to improve the troubles of the established methods for the analysis of ultrasound echo signals. We made the phantoms of 13.2g, 19.8g, 26.4g, 33.0g, 39.8g by ourselves, and extracted the only pulse-echo signals that reflected through the mediums using windowing technique. For determining the characterized value, the signals were wavelet transformed, absoluted, and integral calculated. As the result, we acquired characterized value of each signals, and acknowledged the differences among them except of some datas. But this will be improved by advanced work as sellecting a proper mother wavelet, a method of making phantoms, correcting the various errors, etc. We expect that wavelet transform is powerful for analysis of ultrasound signals.
