ABSTRACT:
A method for configuring an ultrasound imaging system having a programmable signal processor and an operator interface. Application codes for programming the signal processor to process signals in accordance with respective imaging modes are stored in memory. A user operates an operator interface to select one of the plurality of imaging modes. The master controller programs the signal processor with the application code corresponding to the selected imaging mode. The signal processor is programmable to process signals in the B mode, M mode, color flow imaging mode and Doppler imaging mode. Preferably, the programmable signal processor is an array of digital signal processor chips. Incoming vector data is partitioned amongst the respective digital signal processor chips. The processed vector segments are then recombined to form a vector of image data for display.
