2017-07-21 News from Newcastle
- Interesting article on synthetic aperture - PDF
- New article from Neasham - PDF – some sources for good references
- Tech insights: using a 12Msps ADC for a 4MHz piezo and a 4 FPS - software limited, using a Voice Coil Motor (VCM – see “Design and optimization of a voice coil motor with a rotary actuator for an ultrasound scanner,” by same author ) for low noise, 15cm deep, 200 lines over 50°, 96V pulses, using synthetic aperture focusing on sig proc – and they have already been doing in FDA compliant in vivo testing, Table III shows tech specs achieved.
- Also introduces some “low-cost devices recently entering the market include the Interson SeeMore probe, the SunBright SUN-806F and the Telemed MicrUs, which can be purchased between $1.5k and $3k.”.

TODOs:
- @done remove gitbook MD files from the log
- @done link to files in the log (python)
- @done put back good ino for pulser
- @done quickstart installs and tests (see Charles email)
- @done finish the Word of Caution MD
