Abstract
An ultrasonic imaging system and a method thereof are disclosed, in which a FPGA and a GPU are designed for beam forming according to different requirements, for example including but not limited to: configuring the FPGA and the GPU to jointly perform an identical beam forming procedure on the same group of channel echo data to improve frame rate; configuring the FPGA and the GPU to perform different beam forming procedures on the same group of channel echo data respectively to improve image quality; configuring the FPGA and the GPU to process the channel echo data alternately; etc. Through such design and the configuration of FPGA and GPU in regard to beam forming, the frame rate and/or image quality can be improved while considering cost and power consumption.
