Abstract EN
As today's standard screening methods often fail to diagnose breast cancer before metastases have developed, an earlier breast cancer diagnosis is still a major challenge.
To improve this situation, we are currently developing a fully three-dimensional ultrasound computer tomography (3D USCT) system, promising high-quality volume images of the breast.
For obtaining these images, a time-consuming reconstruction has to be performed.
As this is currently done on a PC, parallel processing in reconfigurable hardware could accelerate both signal and image processing.
In this work, we investigated the suitability of an existing data acquisition (DAQ) system for further computation tasks.
The reconfiguration features of the embedded FPGAs have been exploited to enhance the systems functionality.
We have adapted the DAQ system to allow for bidirectional communication and to provide an overall process control.
Our results show that the studied system can be applied for data processing.
