Project Description

The goal of this project is to create a prototype ultrasound research platform that will test theoretical developments on methods that use coded pulses to excite ultrasound transducers. These theoretical developments can then be compared to the current methods to conclude that a clearer ultrasound image is obtained. This prototype will test arbitrary waveforms on a multi-pin device, to compare experimental results with theoretical predictions. The preliminary results obtained in this project, by using devices that are already available or at a reasonable cost, will be used to guide the development of a future system (outside of this project’s scope) using higher end components.
