Power medical imaging development TI launched ultrasonic Development Kit Kit

Recently, Texas instruments (TI) announcing to fully meet the medical needs of diagnostic ultrasound products manufacturers embedded processor software toolkit, fulfilled in order to meet the needs of medical imaging equipment manufacturer and provides a highly customizable digital signal processor (DSP) and high performance analog products's commitment.

As the TI series products of the first paragraph, the Toolkit can help manufacturers through the TI C64x + DSP platform more powerful processing capabilities to easily conduct Ultrasonic application development, allowing medical institutions and medical staff to faster, more accurate diagnosis for patients.

TI applies to medical diagnostic ultrasound products embedded processor software toolkit (STK) can achieve universal processing module optimization implementation to fully exploit the TI C64x + architecture of high performance and low power consumption, less ultrasound system development time.

In addition, TI also provides for medical imaging TMS320C6455 DSP Starter Pack (DSK), low-cost development platform can be utilized for the manufacturer to assess and highly programmable DSP algorithm provides a simple and easy-to-use solutions in medical imaging product development times for leading edge.

Main features and benefits

· Optimized, universal ultrasonic treatment block C64x + software module helps manufacturers accelerate product launch process, while also reducing the cost and power consumption increase coding efficiency and system performance.

· The complete source code for all modules are available for developers offer comprehensive visibility and achieve module customization and differentiation.

· Abstraction by module, well-defined APIs can simplify the development work, while at the same time and easily integrated into existing systems.

· Complete benchmark assessment of the implementation of the module, as well as with other schema comparison easier and faster.

· Comprehensive test bench ensures that the functionality of the module, and contribute to the assessment and development.

You can easily add customized test vectors for any input function and periodic performance review.

· Each optimization module full documentation can provide relevant calculation optimization C64x + kernel methods of encoding instructions for the optimization of the kernel can be used as a model for other encoding module.

· Provide one year of technical support and patches, including TI application team in the coming years, the publication of the latest patches and support.

Databeans r Director and CEO, Susie Inouye pointed out: "in the next few years, we expect the medical imaging applications will undergo major changes, which are limited to basic diagnostic capabilities of traditional image mode into by miniaturization, high-precision portable equipment of the new industrial environment.

Obviously, the manufacturers need more flexibility, more portable, low-cost ultrasonic equipment, and TI have low power, high performance and flexible programming of digital signal processors will enable them to benefit from. ”
