Abstract :
The authors have designed a 1.75-D 1280-channel ultrasound imaging system to replace their existing 2-D 64 channel ultrasound imaging system which is used in a combined ultrasound and near infrared (NIR) diffusive light imager for breast cancer imaging. The new system has a 1.75-D 1280 channel ultrasound transducer array, 1280 transmission channels, 1280 to 40 mux, and a 40-channel data acquisition board. This new ultrasound system will provide better image and more detailed information of the human breast to help the optical reconstruction
