A novel ultrasound imaging system based on endoscopic array probe is presented in this paper. The system utilizes an endoscopic linear-array probe instead of the conventional single-element probe to implement ultrasound scanning in vivo. For the system, a micro linear-array ultrasound probe sized Φ10mm×20mm is firstly designed. And then the excitation circuit, gating circuit and echo receiving and processing circuit are all designed cored by a center control unit FPGA. Finally the research of d/2 focusing algorithm is implemented on the basis of the system. After processed, the gray image of echoes reflected by a glass jar’s wall is obtained and shown on a computer.

Background: This study is carried out targeting the problem of slow response time and performance degradation of imaging system caused by large data of medical ultrasonic imaging. In view of the advantages of CS, it is applied to medical ultrasonic imaging to solve the above problems. Objective: Under the condition of satisfying the speed of ultrasound imaging, the quality of imaging can be further improved to provide the basis for accurate medical diagnosis. Methods: According to CS theory and the characteristics of the array ultrasonic imaging system, block compressed sensing ultrasonic imaging algorithm is proposed based on wavelet sparse representation. Results: Three kinds of observation matrices have been designed on the basis of the proposed algorithm, which can be selected to reduce the number of the linear array channels and the complexity of the ultrasonic imaging system to some extent. Conclusion: The corresponding simulation program is designed, and the result shows that this algorithm can greatly reduce the total data amount required by imaging and the number of data channels required for linear array transducer to receive data. The imaging effect has been greatly improved compared with that of the spatial frequency domain sparse algorithm.
