Hybrid Hardware and Software-Based Fully-Flexible Ultrasound Open Platform
Abstract
This paper presents a real-time, fully flexible ultrasound open platform for medical imaging research, in which all the emission, capture and image formation parameters are defined by the user in a JSON configuration file. The hardware, FPGA code, software and the customized Linux distribution for the platform were developed at the Eldorado Research Institute, in partnership with the RBTU - Brazilian Network of Ultrasound Techniques. The motivation behind this work was the lack of flexibility in existing platforms to enable the evaluation of new signal processing and beamforming algorithms developed by the researchers of the RBTU.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
