Abstract
In a dematerialized ultrasound system, i.e. comprising a probe for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals and a generic processing hardware made of one or more distributed processing units, the functions relating to the processing steps for the generation and processing of the images are in the form of software programs that encode instructions for the aforementioned generic hardware which make it capable of executing said processing steps. In order to make the computational and data interchange burden less heavy between the units of the distributed architecture of the system and to make the distribution of processing steps more flexible between one or more of the components of the distributed system, the programs are created under form of applications included in containers managed by a container management engine.
