Abstract

As uses for ultrasound increase, so does the need for effective signal processing techniques. In this article we provide an overview of signal acquisition and processing in modern medical ultrasound imaging equipment and present some of the more important concepts in practice today. Images and data types typical of current ultrasound equipment are reviewed; fundamental acoustics and design parameters that affect signal quality and processing strategies are discussed; and current research directions are presented
