Abstract
An ultrasonic imaging system includes an auxiliary processor that is connected to the imaging system by an open-standard, high-speed digital data channel. The system processor of the imaging system directs some processing tasks to the imaging system for execution in the conventional manner. Other processing tasks (often associated with computationally intensive applications) are automatically routed to the auxiliary processor for execution. The data channels between the system processor and the auxiliary processor allow high-speed exchange of live video information such that the identity of the processor performing a particular application is transparent to the user.
