Medical ultrasound has become a crucial part of modern society and continues to play a vital
role in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. Over the past decades, the development of …

As medical ultrasound imaging moves from conventional cart-based scanners to new form
factors such as imaging catheters, hand-held point-of-care scanners and ultrasound …

We present an area-and power-efficient application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for a
miniaturized 3-D ultrasound system. The ASIC is designed to transmit pulse and receive …

In this article, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for 3-D, high-frame-rate
ultrasound imaging probes is presented. The design is the first to combine element-level …

The total economic cost of neurological disorders exceeds£ 100 billion per annum in the
United Kingdom alone, yet pharmaceutical companies continue to cut investments due to …

This article presents an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for catheter-based 3-D
ultrasound imaging probes. The pitch-matched design implements a comprehensive …

The recent pandemic has shown that accurate and on-demand information on various
infections requires highly versatile, Point-of-Care (PoC) platforms providing diagnostic and …

A successive approximation register (SAR)-assisted digital-slope analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) with an “8-bit+ 4-bit” hybrid topology is presented. In the coarse quantization with an 8 …

Objective Described here is the development of an ultrasound matrix transducer prototype
for high-frame-rate 3-D intra-cardiac echocardiography. Methods The matrix array consists …

Intra-cardiac echography (ICE) probes (Fig. 32.2. 1) are widely used in electrophysiology for
their good procedure guidance and relatively safe application. ASICs are increasingly …
