Ultrasound Brain Imaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be expensive; however, a low cost alternative to fMRIs are pulse echo ultrasound systems for brain imaging. As a team, it is our goal to design and build a pulse echo ultrasound system. The ultrasound system will have 128 channels and operate at 3 MHz. This is based on traditional beam forming technology. The system will communicate with a PC for data procurement. The final product will be a 128 channel circuit that shows traditional ultrasound imaging is possible.
