System Composition & Technical Specifications

1.2 Working Principle

Basic operation principle of the main unit is as follow:

The Digital Signal Processing Moudle on the one hand transmits digital image signals to
the computer control system, on the other hand receives control information from the
computer control system and generates corresponding control data to achieve control of
the ultrasound T/R front end.

Here is the working process of the system:

Based on control actions from the control panel, the computer control system generals
control commands and parameter data automatically. The Digital Signal Processing
Moudle receives commands and control parameters from the computer control platform,
distributes them to each functional module.

The real-time controller on the Digital Signal Processing Moudle generates live scan
control signals and controls transmission of the front-end T/R controller. And the front-end
T/R controller is in charge of T/R control of ultrasound according to the requirements of
scan control synchronized signals from the system.

The beam-forming module on the Digital Signal Processing Moudle receives amplified
echo signals from the Probe Interface Board and performs digital beam forming, then
sends beam data to the subsequent processing module. As a key technique, digital signal
processing plays an important role in ultrasound systems. This technology ensures image
information being transmitted and converted with high fidelity; and it will have further
processing to acquire better images, which is conducive to correct diagnosis by doctors.
Data information such as image data processed by digital signals is sent to the control
platform through data channels on the Interface Board for further processing and image
display.

Every time when ultrasound is transmitted, the excitation high-voltage from the T/R
Module generates and sends a set of excitation pulses to the current working probe. One
element group in the transducer is excited and ultrasound is transmitted. Sound wave is
propagated in and reflected by the tissue, and the ultrasound returned to the probe is
received by the same element group and then sent to the preamplifier on the T/R Module
for pre-amplification, depth gain compensation and programmable gain amplification.
After this process, signals are sent to the Digital Signal Processing Module.

The powers required by the system are provided by the power module.

Based on operator button actions, relevant information is sent to the control panel to the
control platform. The platform generates control commands and parameter data

1-2
System Composition & Technical Specifications

automatically, and sends them to the modules involved. The control platform is the
managerial center of the whole system, which receives operation command from the
control panel, and control the whole system based on the current state of the system. The
other functions that the control platform fulfills also include measurement and calculation,
screen display and video processing, management of patient data and image, as well as
control of storage, printing and communication.

2.2.3 Power Supply Module

The main function of the Power Supply Module is to transform AC power input into

different DC voltages required by the system. The system consists of computer part and

ultrasound part, both of which have their own special requirements, so the power supply is

also divided into ATX power supply and DC-DC power supply (Fig. 2-4). ATX power

supply is for the computer part, one +12V DC power from ATX power supply is for DC-DC

power, and is transformed by the DC-DC power into different voltages required by the

ultrasound part and supplied to it. In Table 1, the specific standard voltages for each test

point on the power board are listed.

If any failure occurs on the DC-DC power board, firstly check if voltage input and output of

each group is normal. If abnormal, check if the abnormality comes from power output itself

or from abnormal loading. Here is the detailed instruction: when abnormality happens on

the system and it is determined that the failure comes from this PCB, disassemble the

system, measure the voltage of each test point and compare with Table1. If certain voltage

is different from the value in Table 1, try to disconnect the DC-DC Power Supply Board

and the Digital Signal Processing Board, measure the voltage again. If the voltage

complies with the value in Table 1, it can be determined that the voltage decreases due to

other PCBs. If all the output voltages are abnormal when measuring each test point, the

input voltage issue shall be considered. Disconnect the power supply board from the ATX

power supply and separately start up the ATX power supply. Then measure the sockets

connecting the ATX power supply and the power supply board to check whether the

output voltage is normal (normal voltage is +12V±0.6V). If the output value is normal, then

the failure comes from DC-DC power supply board itself.

The following (but not limited to the following) failures may be found:

a) The system cannot start up (failure comes from ATX power supply).

b) The system can start up, but then restart and power off.

c) The system can start up, without display on the screen.

2.2.4 Control Panel

The Main Control Panel (KB Board) serves as an end-user operation interface, providing

operation objects such as keys, trackball, knobs and TGC sliders. When the user operates

these objects, the control panel will detect these actions, convert them into agreed signals

and send them to the computer module for corresponding processing. On the other hand,

the backlight on the control panel is controlled by software. When the software sends

control commands, the control panel receives these commands and thus controls the

backlight.
