A new paradigm in ultrasound imaging

Today there is an intrinsic limitation regarding frame rate acquisition of ultrasound information coming from the body. This limitation is due in part to the speed at which ultrasound wave propagates in the tissue, but also to the architecture of every system on the market whereby the somewhat sequential nature for data acquisition limits the speed at which images can be displayed. The new paradigm consists in the creation of a new ultrasound system architecture with heavily parallelized acquisition where the receive beamformer is achieved in software. With such a unique architecture we have demonstrated acquisi…
