Ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system with personal computer architecture

摘要: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided with a personal computer platform which processes digital echo signals and produces image for display. The expansion bus structure of the accommodates ancillary processors such as beamformer cards, signal processing video network cards may be necessary or desirable ultrasound system. In preferred embodiment samples produced by connected to are processed display software executed CPU platform. A architecture based consists multiple object oriented tasks, executing under realtime, multitasking operating both efficient robust. Performance upgrades entire effected simple replacement higher performance CPU, thus providing continual improvements in consonance evolution technology.
