Optimizing the cost to quality ratio in ultrasonic imaging

Abstract

The paper deals with a part of the grant and phd research of the authors in obtaining quality ultrasonic images with a simple electronic equipment. Having in mind the fact that the image resolution increases with the number of the transducers in the array, the methods that ensure performance will be presented. By simulating on a adequate software, the sampling and conversion methods are selected to obtain quality images with a minimum hardware structure. Conclusions are drown by the authors on the methods used to optimize ultrasonic investigation from the cost quality point of view.
