First Evaluation of FPGA Reconfiguration for 3D Ultrasound Computer Tomography
نویسنده
چکیده
Three-dimensional ultrasound computer tomography is a new imaging method for early breast cancer diagnosis. It promises reproducible images of the female breast in a high quality. However, it requires a time-consuming image reconstruction, which is currently executed on one PC. Parallel processing in reconfigurable hardware could accelerate signal and image processing. This paper evaluates the applicability of the FPGAbased data acquisition (DAQ) system for computing tasks by exploiting reconfiguration features of the FPGAs. The obtained results show, that the studied DAQ system can be applied for data processing. The system had to be adapted for bidirectional data transfer and process control. Keywords-Altera FPGAs, Reconfigurable Computing, 3D Ultrasound Computer Tomography

متن کاملDynamic Partial Reconfiguration of FPGA for SEU Mitigation and Area Efficiency
The fast growing VLSI industry demands new techniques for configuring the FPGA. When it comes to defence and space application the configuration of the FPGA becomes more crucial. When it is required to configure the FPGA automatically, the need arises of more sophisticated and fast techniques for reconfiguration of FPGA. In the space application, the effect of radiation changes the bit patterns...
متن کاملExpressing dynamic reconfiguration by partial evaluation
Dynamic reconfiguration of FPGAs is a powerful technique for modifying a circuit as it executes. However, dynamic reconfiguration is inadequately supported by CAD tools and poorly understood in general. We present a specific class of dynamic reconfigurations that can be expressed in terms of a formalism called partial evaluation. This provides a systematic framework for understanding the effect...

متن کامل3D ultrasound computer tomography for medical imaging
Our 3D ultrasound computer tomograph (USCT) is an device method aimed at early breast cancer diagnosis. It is capable of producing images with sub-millimeter resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. This method is universally useable for the 3D analysis of sufficient small bodies similar to the size of a breast, which may be immersed in a liquid coupling medium. In this paper, an overview of ...
