TI公司的手提超聲系統(tǒng)DSP解決方案重量大約10磅或不到10磅,可以在沒有電池的情況下工作. 手提超聲系統(tǒng)廣泛應用于ICU病房,急診室, 麻醉和戰(zhàn)場。手提超聲系統(tǒng)采用DSP和SoC來處理電傳感器(如照相機,變換器,麥克風等)所產(chǎn)品生的數(shù)字化電信號,一個診斷超聲圖像系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生和發(fā)送超聲波,捕捉反射波并轉換成可視的圖像.接收到的反射波的信號處理包內(nèi)插,抽取,數(shù)據(jù)濾波和重建.可編程的DSP和SoC能實時實現(xiàn)這些復雜的數(shù)學運算.本文介紹了超聲波系統(tǒng)方框圖, 超聲波系統(tǒng)的前端處理,中間處理和后端處理,以及由DM648 + DM6446組成的系統(tǒng)框圖和由C6455 + OMAP3530組成的系統(tǒng)方框圖.此外還介紹了相關處理器和應用處理的主要特性和方框圖。
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.
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.
