Conventional ultrasound systems too often yield non-diagnostic exams. Recognizing this, GE Healthcare has developed an imaging platform called cSound. It eliminates the conventional ultrasound special-purpose beamforming hardware by using a software beamformer. Data from every probe element/channel is acquired and temporarily stored in a local big data memory before being analyzed and processed by parallel processors, similar to those found in many of today’s supercomputers.
