Abstract
Ultrafast ultrasound imaging has opened up new avenues for applications in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. We developed an open ultrasound platform based on a single FPGA to enable high-frame-rate beamforming. The system comprises a commercial PC for user interaction and an ultrasound acquisition card connected via PCIe 3.0, supporting real-time beamforming and programmable transmission/reception. The parallel delay-and-sum beamformer is implemented using data register shifting technology and can output beamformed images of 128×2048 at a frame rate of 10,557 fps.
