A diagnostic ultrasound imaging system generates and transmits acoustic waves and captures reflections that are then transformed into visual images. The signal processing on the received acoustic waves include interpolation, decimation, data filtering and reconstruction. Programmable DSPs and SOCs, with architectures designed for implementing complex mathematical algorithms in real-time, can efficiently address all the processing needs of such a system.
TI Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for Portable Ultrasound
Portable ultrasound systems are considered to be ultrasound systems that weigh around 10 lbs or less, and can run on batteries. They began to appear in the market place in the late 90s and have seen a remarkable growth in sales in the recent years. This growth has been a direct result of their applicability in areas such as ICUs, emergency medicine, regional anesthesia and battlefield.
DSPs and SoCs are specially designed single-chip digital microcomputers that process digitized electrical signals generated by electronic sensors (e.g., cameras, transducers, microphones, etc.) that will help to revolutionize the area of diagnostic ultrasound imaging. A diagnostic ultrasound imaging system generates and transmits acoustic waves and captures reflections that are then transformed into visual images. The signal processing on the received acoustic waves include interpolation, decimation, data filtering and reconstruction. Programmable DSPs and SOCs, with architectures designed for implementing complex mathematical algorithms in real-time, can efficiently address all the processing needs of such a system.
The following information introduces the concept of a complete portable ultrasound system solution based on Texas Instruments (TI) semiconductor components, development tools, and software solutions.
Additionally, the various concepts that outline the inherent advantages of a DSP and a SoC in a portable ultrasound system - efficient signal processing, lower power consumption and lower cost, all leading to better ultrasound diagnostic imaging - will also be covered.
The key driver requirements for a portable ultrasound system are the same with any portable device: size, weight, battery life, cost and performance. OEMs are making trade-offs in these areas, for example, providing just a basic imaging system with less features but with more battery life, (e.g., 8-channel black and white systems vs. more sophisticated 128 channel color systems that would need to be re-charged more often). The size of the portable system varies from laptop sized systems to handhelds. These size limitations are driving the need for more system integration on the supporting SoCs and more automatic image enhancement features due to fewer fine controls.
The requirements for portable systems is also being driven from geographies where the infrastructure is more rural and access to the larger more sophisticated imaging systems is limited, and where clinicians must now take the system to the patient. This makes cost a critical factor as well.
