Cart Specifications
The base level Ontario systems come equipped with a Cephasonics 64-channel or 128-channel ultrasound engines with 3:1 muxing, an Intel-based I7 computer controller with an Nvidia RTX A4000 GPU, memory, solid-state storage, Cephasonics CuSDK ultrasound software platform, Linux operating system, and features a 21.5” medical touch screen monitor.
The package is built on a stable rolling cart designed for clinical applications. The integrated system provides a clinical-ready system ready for to add your application software and provide your end-users with a highly functional and reliable system. All system components come preassembled in the system enclosure. The system can also be customized with a customer logo and company colors as well as a variety of different accessories. All components are ready for EN 60601-1-2:2015 (4th Edition) EMC and safety certification. It can meet developer requirements for a variety of advanced ultrasound imaging and quantitative AI applications.
Ultrasound System Capabilities
The Cephasonics ultrasound engine is a precision and very flexible embedded system that provides fine-grain control of transmit and receive parameters for channel capture and beamforming modes of operations including transmit wave definition, transmit/receive delays and weights and probe mux configuration per firing.
The ultrasound engines also feature user-configurable input and output triggering to synchronize ultrasound firing with external systems along with fully programmable AFE and TGC parameters, and depth-based frequency tracking demodulation and decimation filtering (TFC). You can use the systems for B-mode, harmonic imaging, doppler modes, including CFM, PDI and PWD, and M-mode with data rates to 3.6Gbps over PCI-express v1.1 (x4) and Frame rates of up to 28fps over USB 2.0 interface at 20cm depth. The systems provide resolution of lateral 0.5mm, axial 0.5mm, geometrical precision of 0.1mm or 1 pixel, spatial compounding, multi focal zone (max 4 zones) , multi frequency, scan angles from 0 deg to 150 deg, at 1 deg increments, and image depth of 1mm to 30cm.
Ultrasound Transmit functions provide for 256 pulse shape entries and each 248 pulses at 160MHz, 8192 sample long pulses for “chirp” signal, output pulse rates of 100Hz to 40MHz, a pulse repetition counter 1..32, pulse duty cycle adjustment to 6.125ns precision, and arbitrary wave form definition. The transmit aperture definition provides arbitrary channel enabling and apodization F# of 1/16..16. The transmit delay resolution is 6.125ns and provides for 3-level or 5-level pulser configurations. The output (at 5MHz) is 25ps with phase noise (at 5MHz, 1KHz offset) of −116 dBc/Hz
Receive functions include a 12-bit 68.5dBFS, 10.5 ENOB ADC with an ultra-low 2.4dB noise figure, an input frequency range of 1MHz to 18MHz, a sampling rate of 20MHz and 40MHz, and close-in phase-noise (at 1KHz offset from 3.5MHz carrier) of -140dBc/Hz. Channel capture features 8K samples per channel buffer, a programmable high pass filter, and a programmable decimation filter. Beamforming provides for continuous receive focus and apodization with delay and weight coefficients updated on every sample. It also provides for 1 and 2 beam parallel processing, preset window functions and programmable time frequency control in 32 zones.
