Article: Impressive Development of a Low-Cost Medical Ultrasound Scanner Using a Monostatic Synthetic Aperture

I’m a noob at this, but it seems that MFFS uses fixed focus piezos, but MSAS does focusing in the software (hence synthetic aperture) using a piezo of known size. That’s an interesting alternative to focused piezos.

Some other interesting insights, like using “Quality Assurance for UltraSound (QA4US) software” for image quality assessment, or also the architecture they used (an ARM, 14-bit ADC at 12Msps), or even the fact that the piezo is in direct contact with the skin, or a motor using a Voice Coil Motor.

@done add the MSAS principles to the un0rick article
