Abstract

An ultrasonic echographic imaging device for two dimensions (x, y), includes an adaptive filter for reducing the interference noise in the images obtained. A first circuit differentiates the signal (E(x, y)) applied to the adaptive filter and a second circuit forms the weighted sum of the signal (S(x, y)) leaving the adaptive filter (200) and the signal (dE(x, y)/dy) output of the differentiating circuit.
