A single mediaprocessor-based programmable ultrasound system.

We have developed a programmable ultrasound imaging system using a single commercially available mediaprocessor. We have efficiently mapped all of the necessary B-mode processing algorithms on the underlying processor architecture, including envelope detection, dynamic range compression, lateral and...
