USB3.0 (universal serial bus 3.0) based ultrasonic data treatment and transmission device and method, and ultrasonic diagnosis system

Abstract

The invention relates to a USB3.0 (universal serial bus 3.0) based ultrasonic data treatment and transmission device and method. The device is arranged between an ultrasonic probe and an upper computer, and comprises a front-end signal conditioning circuit, an analog-to-digital converter, a field programmable gate array, a mass data memory and a USB3.0 bridge chip. The field programmable gate array is used for controlling the ultrasonic probe to transmit ultrasonic signals, acquiring and processing echo signals subjected to analog-to-digital conversion, temporarily storing the echo signals in the mass data memory, reading the echo signals from the mass data memory and transmitting the echo signals to the USB3.0 bridge chip. The USB3.0 bridge chip is used for receiving the echo signals and transmitting the echo signals to the upper computer. The field programmable gate array is adopted to process the data, so that processing efficiency is extremely high, peripheral devices are decreased, cost is lowered, and speed of data transmission can be increased due to the adoption of the USB3.0 bridge chip.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic imaging, in particular to a USB3.0-based ultrasonic data processing and transmission device and method, and an ultrasonic diagnostic system. Background technique [0002] Medical imaging is the technology and process of obtaining images of internal tissues of the human body or a certain part of the human body in a non-invasive manner for medical treatment or medical research. Medical imaging generally refers to the process of examining parts of the human body that cannot be examined by non-surgical means through X-ray imaging, X-ray computed tomography imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, and optical coherence tomography. [0003] With the development of medical ultrasound imaging technology, in order to obtain clearer images, the number of probe array elements in ultrasound imaging devices is increasing, and the requirements for data acquisition are getting higher and higher.
