  • Abstract
    In this paper, we will discuss the role of modern IC technologies on ultrasonic medical imaging. A digital phased array system for ultrasonic imaging is first described and design principles of receive beamformation are reviewed. Evolution of the beamformer design and state of electronics will also be related. The paper then describes three emerging imaging technologies, and discusses the challenges in circuit design for overcoming these challenges before potential of these techniques can be fully realized.
