Abstract:
A digital microbeamformer apparatus for an ultrasound system includes a plurality of interconnected nodes, with one or more nodes corresponding to at least one channel of the ultrasound system. One or more nodes is configured to communicate data with one or more other nodes via a corresponding beamforming data path, and one or more nodes is coupled to a data output bus shared by one or more other nodes.
