ABSTRACT
Abstract:
This presentation discusses the design and hardware implementation of a high-throughput beamforming system for multi-angle plane-wave ultrasound imaging in the Fourier domain. Using the Temme–Mueller (TM) migration algorithm and high-level synthesis (HLS) targeting a Xilinx Versal adaptive SoC, the system achieves over 500 frames per second using a fully pipelined, modular architecture. Unlike conventional methods that rely on off-chip memory and precomputed lookup tables, this design uses on-chip resources and dynamically computes phase and remapping parameters in real-time. The solution integrates FFT-based modules, phase correction, spectral remapping, and angle compounding to reconstruct ultrasound images efficiently. This work demonstrates that HLS-based design can meet the demanding performance requirements of modern ultrasound systems without resorting to low-level RTL development.
