The present invention is directed to an ultrasound system (20) and method which, in one embodiment, partitions the main body processing such that a portion of the processing is contained within the transducer (24) thereby reducing the need for a multiplicity of high performance cables running between the transducer and the main body. This is possible through the use of a unique architecture to allow for proper power management given the small transducer size and an architecture that exploits the high levels of integration possible on integrated circuit technologies allowing for its implementation in a few highly integrated circuits with virtually no external components outside of the ICs.
La présente invention concerne un système ultrasonore (20) et un procédé qui, dans un mode de réalisation, partagent le traitement du corps principal de telle sorte qu'une partie du traitement est contenue dans le transducteur (24) réduisant de ce fait le besoin d'une multiplicité de câbles de hautes performances passant entre le transducteur et le corps principal. Ceci est possible grâce à l'utilisation d'une architecture unique prévoyant une gestion de puissance adéquate étant donné la faible taille du transducteur et d'une architecture qui exploite les hauts niveaux d'intégration possibles sur des technologies de circuits intégrés permettant sa mise en oeuvre dans quelques circuits très intégrés sans quasiment aucun composant externe en dehors des circuits intégrés.
