Open-Source Test-Bench Design for Applications in Autonomous Ultrasound Imaging

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Sciences (Engineering), Case Western Reserve University, EECS - Electrical Engineering.
Over the last few years, there has been an increased interest in the use of ultrasound in a variety of research applications. Due to this increased interest, there is a need for the development of customized transmission, reception, and processing algorithms, along with low-cost programmable ultrasound imaging devices that would be more desirable for the variety of research applications. This thesis describes a programmable 64- channel system-on-chip (SoC)-based test bench that will be utilized for future research and development on autonomous wearable and implantable medical ultrasound imaging applications. The current setup consists of a custom transmitter, a custom high-voltage (HV)multiplexer, an off-the-shelf receiver, and embedded software on a System on Chip. This prototype results in a modular design that can be easily updated with improved hardware and software for different applications. This thesis describes the current system hardware and software design along with the initial imaging results on tissue phantoms.
