ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound signal processing apparatus provides a programmable platform for various clinical ultrasound applications. The apparatus is part of an ultrasound medical diagnostic imaging system. Data is processed in real-time, near real-time or in delayed playback. In one embodiment a pair of multi-processors are coupled to shared memory via a cross-bar switch. System control data is input via a VME interface. Ultrasound data is input via frame buffers. A first multi-processor manages vector data transfers and scan-converted data acquisitions. A second multi-processor manages video data output. The two multi-processors split signal processing tasks. In various configurations the apparatus executes vector processing, scan conversion, image processing and/or video processing tasks.
