| Summary: | Different kinds of ultrasound equipment exist in the market today. But none of these offer features like interoperability and portability that is of very high importance (in certain situations like on the battlefield). It is to provide these features amongst many others, that we consider the Personal Computer (PC) based ultrasound system. This system holds great promise for the next generation of diagnosis as it can make the ultrasound almost as affordable as a desktop PC. In this thesis, I propose to design and analyze the requirements for a system where hard-wired instruments like the ultrasound interact with the software in a PC instrument. The system should perform predictably i.e., the measurement of accuracy, display of resolution; data processing rates etc. should be consistent and predictable. The system should support Plug & Play (PnP) i.e., different devices are identified and verified by the system during installation. Different components of the system should be interchangeable between different vendors. The system should have the capability to support ultrasound as well as other instruments like Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electroretinography (ERG) etc. The ultrasound Graphical User Interface (GUI) should have strong multimedia capabilities as well as the ability to interact with the Electronic Patient Record (EPR). |
