Application of a new self-adaptive dynamic filter in ultrasound imaging system

Objective A new self-adaptive dynamic filter in ultrasound imaging system was proposed to match the center frequency of the dynamic filter and the real echo in real time. Methods The fast Fourier transform （FFT） processor was used to analyze each small section of the echo and the frequency characteristic of the real echo deciding the factors of the filter in the self-adaptive mechanism. The realization of the system based on field programmable gate array（FPGA） was analyzed and the design was carried on by Modelsim as the timing simulation tool dealing with sinusoidal signals doped with white noise. Results The simulation results showed that the self-adaptive dynamic filter could reduce the noise strongly as the method could match the center frequency of the near field and far field real echo precisely. Conclusions The new self-adaptive dynamic filter is fast enough for processing high-speed and real-time signals, providing one basis for designing the filter in uhrasongraphy.
