Implementation of a ZYNQ-based Wireless Ultrasound Data Transmission and Display System
With the rapid development of internet technology, mobile devices have become indispensable tools in human life, offering a wide array of functions through various app supports. Therefore, this project combines traditional medical ultrasound probes with everyday mobile phones, using mobile devices as terminals for wireless probe data display. It proposes replacing traditional wired ultrasound probes with wireless ones as medical devices, enabling users to monitor their conditions anytime, facilitating operation for doctors or users, and greatly simplifying doctors' work. The integration of mobile phones and medical ultrasound acquisition devices will bring substantial breakthroughs to the medical industry.
This project primarily aims to implement a portable wireless ultrasound probe data transmission system and its overall software system. It involves developing Android software on mobile phones for image observation, processing ultrasound data on the phone, and using a database to store user information. This project is mainly divided into the following four parts: First, it introduces the overall data transmission process and the framework of the entire software, along with the development tools used during the development process. Second, it describes how a DMA module was built to achieve data transfer from acquisition to DDR memory. Third, it covers embedded software development on the ZYNQ development board, implementing the ultrasound data sender and ultrasound parameter receiver. Finally, it details Android software development on the mobile phone, realizing various functionalities required for the ultrasound display terminal.
Firstly, this paper introduces the overall data transmission process, as well as the frameworks of the embedded software and Android software. It also details the development tools required and the setup of the development environment.
