A Software - Based Ultrasound System for Medical Diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This thesis describes a software-based ultrasound system suitable for medical diagnosis. The device's core functions, which include generating the transmit signal and processing and displaying the received echoes, are implemented in the VuSystem programming environment. In addition, a simulation environment was developed using a software model of the ultrasound transducer and target. The approach is an improvement over present, hardware-based ultrasound systems because it takes advantage of the flexibility of software. Various, user-defined transmit waveforms can be used, and the receive-side processing can be customized, in real time, to the user's specifications. Furthermore, additional functionalities can easily be added to the prototype system. Thesis Supervisor: David Tennenhouse Title: Principal Research Scientist
