Short Description
The LightProbe system is designed to acquire ultrasound data for many different applications (e.g. tracking of microbubbles, imaging of muscular tissues). Currently, LightProbe implements a fixed gain value. Now we want to equip LightProbe with Time Gain Compensation (TGC) features, i.e., adding the capability of applying different gain values to signals coming from different depths (therefore, at different times) of the porband.
Once the implementation is completed, testing on ultrasound phantoms will be performed.
Goal & Tasks
The goal of the project is to implement Time Gain Compensation (TGC) on LightProbe, in order to improve the quality of ultrasound reconstructed images. The main tasks of this project are:
- Literature study of time gain compensation
- Study of the existing hardware
- Hw/SW implementation and testing
- Verification on Ultrasound phantoms
Prerequisites
- Signal processing basics
- MATLAB
- Python
- VLSI I
Status: Available
- Looking for Interested Students
- Supervision: Sergei Vostrikov, Andrea Cossettini
Character
- 20% Literature Study
- 20% Study of the existing hardware
- 40% Programming and Testing
- 20% Verification on an ultrasound phantom
