Abstract:
Developing an acoustic radiation force excitation module including 64 channels based in FPGA for ultrasound elastography. The circuit of the module was drived in bipolar, and the parameters such as excitation frequency, pulse repetition frequency, pulse number, element number and focus depth were ajustable. The acoustic field for special parameter was experimented with OptiSon laser acoustic field system with a result which reflects the width of focal spot is about 3 mm. The acoustic power was experimented with RFB2000 radiation force balance with a result which reflects acoustic power is increasing linearly with the number of pulses and the number of elements, and is increasing squarely with the peak-to-peak value of excitation voltage. The module is promising in factual application which can be triggered external y in synchronously, and can be combined with B-mode ultrasound system for ultrasound elastograpy.
