Abstract
An ultrasonic imaging system for an ultrasonic imaging unit generating ultrasonic image data of an interlaced scanning mode, includes a display of a non-interlaced scanning mode and a scanning mode converter for converting ultrasonic image data of the interlaced scanning mode received from the ultrasonic imaging unit into data of a non-interlaced scanning mode and supplying the ultrasonic image data of the non-interlaced scanning mode to the non-interlaced scanning mode display, to thereby provide an ultrasonic image having a better quality of picture in comparison with the interlaced scanning mode. The only ultrasonic image data in which the ultrasonic image data is displayed together with additional data on a screen by the image display of the non-interlaced scanning mode, is converted in the interlaced mode, thereby recording the ultrasonic image data via the conventional VCR.

What is claimed is:
1. An ultrasonic imaging system for an ultrasonic imaging unit generating ultrasonic image data of an interlaced scanning mode, said ultrasonic imaging system comprising:
- a display of a non-interlaced scanning mode;
- a first scanning mode converter for converting ultrasonic image data of the interlaced scanning mode received from said ultrasonic imaging unit into data of a non-interlaced scanning mode and supplying the ultrasonic image data of the non-interlaced scanning mode to said non-interlaced scanning mode display;
- an interlaced scanning mode monitor; and
- a second scanning mode converter for converting non-interlaced scanning mode data from said first scanning mode converter to interlaced data for display on said monitor.
2. The ultrasonic imaging system according to claim 1, wherein said scanning mode converter processes the ultrasonic image data obtained by the scanning mode conversion to be displayed on the whole screen of said display.
3. An ultrasonic imaging system for an ultrasonic imaging unit generating ultrasonic image data of an interlaced scanning mode, said ultrasonic imaging system comprising:
- a display of a non-interlaced scanning mode;
- a scanning mode converter for converting ultrasonic image data of the interlaced scanning mode received from said ultrasonic imaging unit into data of a non-interlaced scanning mode and supplying the ultrasonic image data of the non-interlaced scanning mode to said non-interlaced scanning mode display;
- a graphic adapter; and
- a window setter for processing the ultrasonic image data from said scanning mode converter to be displayed in a window of a first size smaller than that of the whole screen, processing additional information data applied via said graphic adapter to be displayed on the other areas excluding the window of the first size, and supplying the resulting data to said display.
4. The ultrasonic imaging system according to claim 3, further comprising means for detecting the ultrasonic image data from the data output from said window setter and converting the detected ultrasonic image data into data of an interlaced scanning mode.
