Abstract
In a method for examining objects using ultrasound according to the reflection process, in particular 3D scanning, the object is scanned with an ultrasound transducer (1) with associated transmit/receive unit (2, 4) appropriate for volume scanning and the obtained echo data are stored in a volume memory (5) in clear assignation to the local coordinates of the reflection points. During scanning the spatial line density and/or the temporal repetition frequency, in which certain volume areas are scanned, is deflected by the contents of the information obtained or obtainable from these areas in such a form that areas having less information content are scanned more seldom and/or with less scanning density than areas having a higher information content.
