Ultra-small medical ultrasound delay time interpolation accuracy 5-fold improvement technology
This technology is related to a delay time interpolation method in an ultrasound beamformer. It can calculate the delay time with one delay time calculator for all channels, improving the accuracy of delay time interpolation in cases with the same hardware complexity.
Existing ultrasound medical equipment systems have difficulty calculating delay time due to the complex hardware structure, so there is a problem of sacrificing accuracy for miniaturization.
This technology enables more precise and efficient imaging in the field of ultrasound diagnosis and treatment.
Key Features:
- Accuracy improvement: Significantly improves the quality of ultrasound images by reducing the cumulative error amount of delay time calculation by up to 5 times compared to the existing linear interpolation method.
- Hardware efficiency: The hardware resources of the delay time calculation unit increase by about two times, but the proportion of the entire beam focuser system increases slightly from 1% to 2%, thereby achieving high performance cost-effectively.
- Miniaturization and low power consumption of the system by using one delay time calculator for all channels. contribution
