Abstract

In this paper we will present the results of mapping and simulating the B-Mode (echo), and Doppler (flow) algorithms in ultrasound processing onto 1D and 2D based architectures. A scaleable parallel architecture using commercial off the shelf DSP processors was simulated/evaluated for performance and cost feasibility to replace an existing dedicated hardware solution. The results showed that such an architecture was both feasible and cost effective.
